Sept 10/25 - Rice Lake ride

From the Bewdley municipal parking we cycled up Cavan Rd  to Cty Rd 9 for a challenging 3 km uphill ride to Lander Rd  which has panoramic views of Rice Lk before a welcome descent to the lake in Gore's Landing. From there we cycled east on Rice Lake Scenic Dr into Harwood filling our water bottles from the aquifer tap before a break at the Harwood Dock park. Then we cycled south on Cty Rd 15 for a long gradual uphill ride across Cty Rd 9 to Beavermeadow Rd W, west to Cty Rd 18 & a short ride north to Plainsville & Cavan Rd for a return ride west thru farmlands beside the Oakridge Moraine to Bewdley & lunch at Rhino's. We had an ideal day for this scenic undulating route on & above the Rice Lake shoreline followed by a ride thru the hills of the Northumberland countryside .
