The Winter Fun series of bike rides (previously Die Hard) are meant to be fun, yet a bit challenging. Simply riding a bike in the winter is a bit of a challenge compared to summer riding but this offers an element of fun! Getting out and riding even though it may be cold, snowy, windy, slippery or any combination gives a great sense of accomplishment, almost like going against the odds and coming out on top.
BE PREPARED! Make sure you have suitable tires on your bike, and appropriate layers to keep cool enough or warm enough depending on all the possibilities nature can throw at us. Andrew is a die-hard cyclist (or trying to convince himself he is) so this ride will go unless the temperature is below -25 Celsius. Meet at the Victoria Park parking lot on the north side of River Valley Road at 2:00PM for a prompt departure at 2:10PM. Route:
Please be sure that your equipment is suitable to the weather and road/path conditions. This won't be a fast ride, so beginners and slowpokes are welcome. Approximate distance: 18km. SOCIAL! Join us at Brewsters Oliver Square at approximately 4:30pm for snacks/refreshments. Even if you are not biking, please come join us. We will likely be in the dinning room. Call Andrew or Keith if you have trouble find us.
