June 17 Waterfront Trail Ride

Pete Macloghlin, Gordon Powell, Barry Diceman & Robin Maughan met Peter Hamley for this 58 km ride from the Whitby lakeshore to the Rouge R. From Peterborough we turned off Hgw 401 at the Whitby Brock St  (Hgw 12) exit driving south on Brock to Water St turning into the Kiwanis Haydenshore  Pk parking lot where we met Peter. This is a spectacular ride beside Lake Ontario & today we enjoyed the cooling breeze from the lake. There are a few detours on the way to the Rouge R just follow the signs however in Whitby a sign indicating a return to the trail was missing. After the ride we had a picnic style lunch beside the lake in the Kiwanis park. The ride can be shortened by parking for eg at the end of Harwood Ave in Ajax
