This ride is for moderate urban cyclists who would like to try road biking on quiet roads.  Participants must be willing to regroup at intersections.  This is not for fast cyclists.   We will not be cycling on Hwy 22 but we will be crossing it.    Short gravel section of 4 km is rideable with road bikes, E-bikes and hybrid bikes.  We can socialize after the ride in the parking lot, allowing social distancing.  We cycle west along Springbank Road, cross 22 and cycle along gravel road until we reach the paved road leading to the Jumping Pound Gas Plant.  No facilities are available so bring food and water.  This route has great views.  Please arrive 20 minutes early so we can have a safety talk and share information.
