July 24 - John Crawford's Ride & Poolside BBQ

20 cyclists met at John's home where we had a choice of cycling either a 35 or 20 km route. Bill McKnight led the 35 km ride cycling west uphill on Cumberland Ave to Hilliard  St & north up to the Bridgenorth Trail for a ride on the trail to the 7th Line. East on the 7th across Centre Line where the road was under construction to Cty Rd  507. A few of us made a detour off the 7th Line ( just west of the Centre Line) into the Miller Creek Conservation Park for a view of the huge wetlands from an observation tower. Cycled north on the paved shoulder of 507 to Cty Rd 18 for a ride into Lakefield & a return to John's home on the  RGWT or River Rd, Water St & the Parkway Trail beside Cumberland Ave for a poolside BBQ. John & Mel Johnson led the 20 km ride on the RGWT out to Lock 25
