August 26 - Westwood Ride

We had 2 groups for this ride on a cool overcast day. Pete Macloghlin & Barry Diceman led one group on a 38 km from downtown Westwood riding south on Asphodel 3rd Line to Asphodel Pk on the Ouse R at the intersection with Cty Rd 2 before continuing south to the TCT & west to Birdsall where we met Conrad Hill’s group. Conrad led his group east on the TCT towards Hasting while the others rode up to Cty Rd 38, south to River Rd & west to Birdsall Line & south to Birdsall Pt on Rice Lk. After a break we returned north on Birdsall Line to River Rd & east to Cty Rd 38 & north to River Rd which crosses the Ouse R on a new bridge as we rode east before reaching the TCT & a ride beside the Trent R to Hastings for lunch at Banjos. After lunch we returned on the TCT to Asphodel 3rd Line for an uphill climb to Cty Rd 2 continuing north to Westwood.
