Description:
We follow the rail trail to the dam above Paris where we stop for a snack before returning the same way.
The trail is mostly tree lined, sheltered from wind and sun, with lovely views over the Grand River. It’s a great ride to do at any time, but with fall colours starting and pleasant weather, this is a ride not to miss!
The trail surface is unpaved but good, and the route is mostly flat until the last 500m or so near Paris. If you don’t want to do that hill you can wait for the group to come back while you have a snack at a convenient picnic table.
We ride between the leader and a sweep to ensure we’re all together at a speed that everyone can manage.
Remember: You’ll need drinks and a snack or light lunch, and of course your helmet.
Facilities: There is a portable toilet at the trail head and at Glen Morris, so no green door needed.
Register/Contact: Please let me know soon if you are coming, and where you are meeting us.
