This is a Meaford Area Ride Approx 33km (avoiding Lakeshore Drs.).

Construction is to begin this week on Lakeshore Dr. so we will be avoiding this area. Hence the back and forth across Hwy #26. Be mindful of the traffic when crossing. Do I sound like your mother??

Turn right out of the parking lot and ride over the bridge. Right onto Bayfield St. A quick left onto Nelson St. Go straight thru @ the lights at Sykes riding up the hill past the hospital. Road swings to the left becoming Pearson Rd then swings right to become Miller Rd and then County Rd #12. Go past 7th Line to the second intersection. Turn left onto #112 @ the stop sign. Right onto 10th Side Rd (Derry Rd). Rolling hills! Turn right @ Sydenham Twnshp Rd #11th Line. Watch for potholes. Right @ the church onto 16th Side Rd riding up the hill. Turn left @ the stop sign onto #112. Cross Hwy #26. Continue north & turn right onto Side Rd #22. Once again watch for uneven pavement. Turn right @ the stop sign onto 7th Line. Crossing Hwy #26 again. At the stop sign turn left onto Grey Rd #12. Follow the road as it turns and becomes Pearson.You will be turning RIGHT onto Miller at this junction. Go down the small hill to the stop sign and turn slightly left onto Legion St. riding past the park which is on the right hand side. Left @ the stop sign onto Cook St. Right onto Nelson. Go thru the lights@ Sykes, turning right into the back parking lot for McGinty's Cafe. Coffee/Tea Break on their back deck. From here returning to the parking lot @ the harbour. 

This is a very pretty ride with some new pavement to enjoy and some nasty potholes in a few places to keep us humble. Be alert esp on the downhills.

Please bring money for the coffee break which we will enjoy @ the end of the ride.
