Nov 9 - Otonabee ride

15 cyclists met in Beavermeade on a sunny but crisp day with a brisk north wind for a 25 km ride into the Otonabee Twp countrysideride on a route that Conrad & Mel introduced last year. We cycled on the new Ashburnham cycle path to the start of the TCT on Landsdowne St riding east across the Keene Rd to Dillon Rd for a short ride west back to the Keene Rd & south to Assumption Rd for a 2 km ride with 2 short hill climbs west to Crowley Line for 3 km ride south to Base Line. West on Base Line across Bensfort Rd into Stewart Hall for a ride on the residential streets past Dave Meeservey's home to Wallace Pt Rd & a return to Peterborough. From the Wallace Pt Rd  we cycled on River Rd under Hgw 7 to Otonabee Dr which took us back to Ashburnham Dr & lunch at The Porch n' Pint.
