August 2 2023 - Lakefield to Young's Pt

19 cyclists met in the Lakefield Arena parking lot on an ideal day for cycling. This 32 km route on paved roads with a rolling terrain takes you thru the picturesque Selwyn Twp countryside to Young's Point. Unfortunately Robin Maughan had a flat tire as we were cycling thru Lakefield. From Lakefield we cycled east on Youngs Pt Rd for a 4 km ride single file to Preston Rd & north for 3 km to Cty Rd 20 (12th Line) & a short jog west to Northeys Rd. & a gradual 3 km uphill ride to the 14th Line for an easy 2 km ride east to Jopling Rd & a short ride north to the 15th Line for a 4 km up & down ride east to North School Rd & south on Hgw 28 to Young's Point where a few cyclists continued their ride to Lakefield.We took a break beside the locks before cycling on the old bridge back to Hgw 28 for a 1 km ride south on a wide paved shoulder to the Douro 4th Line south for 2 moderate uphill climbs to Cty Rd 6 & a ride west across Hgw 28 into Lakefield. After the ride we enjoyed a picnic lunch in the park beside Katchewanooka Lake. Pat Towns arrived on his bike as we were having lunch
