13 cyclists met in the commuter parking lot off Cty Rd 10 at Hgw 115 for this 35 km ride on a cool blustery fall day. This route is not flat & has a few challenging climbs as you wind your way to Porter Rd starting with a long uphill climb on Cty Rd 10 to Larmer Line, made more difficult today because we were riding into a strong headwind. West on Larmer over Hgw 115 to Tapley 1/4 Line then south for another uphill climb to Hgw 115 & Fallis Line. West on Fallis mainly downhill to Glenmorgan Rd & south thru woods to Pontypool Rd. South downhill on Pontypool Rd beside Hgw 115 past Black Diamond Golf club to Porter Rd although we couldn't coast because of the wind! North on Porter assisted by a tailwind for a short ride into the site of the Manvers Train Station before continuing north on a gradual uphill gradient to Fallis Cemetry for a panoramic view towards Bethany. From the cemetery downhill to Weston Rd & a ride into Bethany for lunch at Coach's (705-277-2500). After lunch the wind had subsided, instead of taking the old rail trail, we cycled east on Hgw 7A to Dranoel Rd & south to Syer Line for a 6 km ride back to the cars.
