Conrad Hill, Frank Marett, Pat Towns, Mel Johnson, Barry Dicman & Pete MacLoghlin met in Bevermeade for the last Dudes ride of 2012. The conditions were rather amazing for mid December, dry, sunny, with the temperature above 0 C. Conrad led us on a new 25 km city route, cycling north on the RGWT crossing the London St bridge to Aylmer St, south across McDonnel St to the Jackson Cr trail to Jackson Pk & uphill to Fairbairn St, east on the Parkway Trail to Water St, north to University Hts Blvd, west to Hetherington Dr & north to Woodland Dr. East on Woodland across the Lakefield Rd to Trent U & over the Otonabee R to East Bank Dr to the Tollington bridge & south on the RGWT to the London St bridge which we crossed again to Waterford St where Frank decided to ride home before we cycled to the Ritz Deli North at George & Edinburgh Sts. for a gourmet lunch. After lunch Pat rode home to pack the bike for Florida leaving Conrad, Mel, Barry, & Pete to cycle back to Beavermeade.
