Wed July 22/26 - Lakefield thru Douro

 We met in the Lakefield municipal parking lot behind Tim Hortons to cycle this 42 km rolling route thru the Douro countryside. The ride starts on Strickland St with a long gradual uphill climb before a downhill ride across Hgw 28 continuing east to Lynch's Rock Rd & a 5 km ride thru farmlands & a large wetland to Cedar Cross Rd & a 4 km ride east to Payne Line Rd for a short jog north to Oke Rd & east to Cty Rd 4. North on Cty Rd 4 to Caves Rd past Warsaw Caves to Alec's home on the Indian R. Alec cycled with us on the Dummer 3rd Line over the Indian R north to Sawmill Rd & NE to the 4th Line Rd where he left us as we cycled uphill to Halls Glen on Cty Rd 6 continuing north on Cty Rd 6 to McCrackens Landing Rd & north to Birchview Rd overlooking Clear Lake. East on Birchview beside Clear Lake past Camp Kawartha to Hgw 28 where we cycled south on the Douro 4th to Cty Rd 6 & a return to Lakefield for a a picnic lunch beside Katchewanooka Lake.
