Sept 16 - Rice Lake ride

 From the Bewdley municipal parking lot we cycled up Cavan Rd  to Cty Rd 9 for a long 3 km uphill ride to Lander Rd which has panoramic views of Rice Lk before a welcome descent to the lake at 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 waterfront. Then we cycled south on Cty Rd 15 for a long gradual uphill ride across Cty Rd 9 to Beavermeadow Rd , west to Cty Rd 18 & a short ride north to Plainsville & Cavan Rd for a return ride thru farmlands beside the Oakridge Moraine to Bewdley & lunch at Rhino's. We had an ideal day for cycling this scenic route. However Dan was stung by a wasp above an eyebrow on Lander Rd & decided to return to Bewdley because of the swelling. This is the 1 st time someone has been stung in all my years of cycling!!
