Wed Nov 4 - Conrad's New Route

24 cyclists met in Beaverneade on this amazing warm sunny Nov day (22 C) to follow Conrad on a new route that he & Mel Johnson had scouted. From Beavermeade we cycled thru Ecology Pk to Ashburnham Dr then south across Lansdowne St over Hgw 7 continuing south on Crowley Line to Assumption Rd, east to the Keene Rd, north for 1 km to Dillon Rd then south across the TCT for an uphill climb to Drummond Line. Cycled south on Drummond up a short hill before a welcome  downhill ride followed by a long uphill climb to the TCT. Cycled east on the TCT to Heritage Line where we took the bike lane into Lang. Returned  on the TCT to ride on the newly completed 3 km section into Peterborough (last 2 photos) for lunch at Mark’s Fine Diner (742-8181). The described route is 34 km but it can easily be shortened. Conrad turned back before we reached Heritage Line for a 22 km ride & a few others turned around at Heritage Line.
