Jim McIntosh led 12 Dudes on a 34 km ride thru the Ennismore countryside from his home off Kerry Line. It was an ideal day for cycling 28C, mainly sunny with the occasional cloud cover & a gentle breeze for this ride which Jim described as having some grades + a few hill climbs. From Jim’s home we cycled east on Kerry Line, across Tara Rd (Cty Rd 16), past Grandview Trailer Pk to Youngs Cove then beside the Buckhorn Lk shoreline to Ednederry Line, west up a “grade” towards Robinson Rd. South on Robinson Rd to Listowel Line & west up another “grade” to Brick Rd & south for a break at the lovely Ennismore Waterfront Park. From the park we cycled north for 200 meters to a short dirt path taking us to a residential street beside Chemung Lk to Robinson Rd (Cty Rd 16) & down to Yankee Line (Cty Rd 14). West on Yankee Line up a long grade to Tara Rd beside The Quarry Golf Club & north into Ennismore. West on Ennis Rd which has one hill climb  before passing the Tamarac Golf Club to Boundary Rd. North on Boundary up another hill to be greeted with a panoramic view overlooking Pigeon Lk before riding downhill to Skyline Rd & Edenderry Line turning north on Insiscara Rd to Kerry Line & back to Jim’s home for a BQ lunch & refreshments courtesy of the Ennismore Gang, Jim, Doug Smith, Ron Spears, Austin Ferguson.
