June 11 - Lakefield to Youngs Point

On an ideal day for cycling we met in Lakefield at the municipal parking lot behind the arena for a 35 km ride thru the Smith  & Douro Twps rolling countryside. From the parking lot we cycled on Water St beside the Otonabee R to Queen St then out to Youngs Pt Rd for a ride east to Preston Rd, north to the 12th Line, west to Northey's Rd & a long gradual uphill ride to the 14th Line then east to Jopling Rd north to the 15th Line & east to North School Rd, south to Hgw 28 into Youngs Point. From the locks we crossed the old highway bridge out to Hyw 28 for a short ride south on a wide paved shoulder to the Douro 4th Line, south to Cty Rd 6 & a return to Lakefield where we had a picnic lunch in the Isobel Morris Park beside Lake Katchewanooka.
