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.
