October 11 2023 - Warsaw Colour Ride

 8 cyclists met in the Warsaw Lions Park on a cool breezy fall day for a 37 km ride, quite a contrast in temperature from last week's ride. The ride starts with a long gradual uphill ride on Rock Rd (paved) past Douglas Rd to the Warsaw Caves trail leading to the viewpoint overlooking the Indian R gorge. After the break we cycled uphill east on Cooper Rd (gravel) to the 4th line for a rolling ride (gravel) south to Centre Rd, also gravel, & a 4 km ride east to the start of the bushtrail on the 6th line road allowance for a 2 km a rough ride thru woodlots to the 6th Line (gravel) & a rolling ride south across Webster Rd to Cty Rd 8 for another 4 km rolling ride on pavement east to the 8th Line (gravel) & a 4 km uphill ride north to Webster Rd. West on Webster & Cty Rd 8, paved, for a 7 km ride to the 4th Line in Cottesloe & an uphill ride north (paved & gravel) to Douglas Rd  (paved) & a long uphill ride as we cycled west towards a welcome downhill ride to Rock Rd & a return to the Lions Park. After the ride 5 of us enjoyed a leisurely lunch at the Canoe & Paddle pub in Lakefield. Note: the Lions Park is usually closed because of vandalism so in the future we will meet in the Back Dam Park on Rock Rd
