If the sun is shining meet at 10:00 just outside Warsaw in Back Dam Park off Rock Rd for a 35 kn ride thru the Douro-Dunner countryside as described in the Sept 24/25 post. This ride is on a mixture of gravel & paved township roads including a 2 km ride on a bush trail. Will check the weather forecast on Tuesday if it looks "iffy" we will meet in Beavermeade rather thn drive to Warsaw.
Rain had been in the forecast as late as yesterday evening but it turned out to be a lovely sunny morning, go figure! 7 cyclists, including Barry, met in Beavermeade for a 30 km ride on the LHTCT into Lang via Nelson Rd & Allandale Rd. After a break we cycled out to Cty Rd for a 1 km ride on a paved bike lane back to the TCT & a return ride into a fairly strong wind. Unfortunately Rob Gardner's bike chain slipped off the front gear at Technology Dr & kept falling off each time we had it back on so Rob foot pushed the bike to Beavermeade standing with one foot on a pedal. It poured rain on my drive home so hope that Dale made it home before the deluge! Looks like we lucked out on the weather!
On Tuesday Oct 6 the LHTCT board hosted an event at Elmhirst to thank all the volunteers who have supported the trail since it's inception in 2012. Barry & Kevin English were recognized for their many volunteer hours building & maintaining the LHTCT. Myself, Robin Maughan, Pete Gardner & Arndt Kruger attended the clebration
