Robin's Ride from Baxter Creek

12 cyclists met Robin at the Baxter Creek Golf Club for a 9:00 start to this ride he described as "in & out of Millbrook X 2". From the golf club we cycled west on Cedar Valley Rd to Hutchison Dr, south to Cty Rd 21 for a 2 km gradual uphill ride before descending into Millbrook then continuing west on Cty Rd 21 out of Millbrook & a 3 km uphill ride to Tapley 1/4 Line for a rest before cycling down & up thru a gully to Glenmorgan Rd where we split into 2 groups. One group cycled south to Zion Line for a 34 km ride while Robin led the others for a 44 km ride over Hgw 115 to Pontypool Rd, downhill past Black Diamond golf club to Porter Rd (Cty Rd 32), across 115 to Farmers Rd & east to Zion for a rolling ride to Carveth Dr & a return to Millbrook. From Millbrook we cycled west on Cty Rd 10 for yet another uphill climb to Larmer Line, east to Cty Rd 28 & a return to Baxter Creek where we had lunch on the patio. This is a scenic ride thru the rolling Cavan countryside with the rides out of Millbrook being the most challenging!
