Details
[ Note: start location has changed. See below ] There's a great ride thru the scenic Caledon backroads...all paved! The greenery is everywhere now making this a great little 'north of Toronto' ride for the start of the season. The actual scenic portion takes just over an hour, with a stop in Kleinberg for a snack on the outdoor "CoffeeTime" patio, smack in the middle of this quaint little village. We'll be a half hour here, so you can just sit or buy a coffee and stroll down the main street of Kleinberg.. it's only a couple of blocks to walk from end to end.
We'll meet on SUNDAY, MAY 18TH, 9:30 a.m. at 147 Laird, just north of Esander Dr and less than a km.south of Eglinton. Av. at the Leaside Smart Centre on the east side of Laird. Look for the red Vespa in the parking lot.
We leave the parking lot at 10:00 a.m.sharp. If the Smart Centre on Laird Drive is not a convenient start location for you, you can meet us in Kleinburg instead. Please be in Kleinburg at CoffeeTime parking lot, within the estimated "window" of 11:15 to 11:45 or earlier. If you want to meet us and start in Kleinberg, here is a location map:

From Kleinberg, we will take the scenic route north, finishing at the Caledon Inn, (just north
of Caledon East Village) on Airport Road, by 1:00 p.m. for a lunch on their patio. For a detailed map of this "scenic route", go to www.wingnutty.ca and check out TOUR 1. We hope to return to Kleinburg (or home) after lunch, probably by 2 pm or so. It is 35 minutes back to Kleinberg. It is necessary that your bike can sustain 90 kph and you leave our staging area with a full tank of gas from where ever you decide to start. Please make sure your scoot is in running order, and that you arrive on-time, especially for the Laird Drive
starting location. If rain is expected on the 18th, we'll postpone for another day. Check the Meet-Up website the night before, and if still in doubt, at 8 a.m.the day of, for any "Messages" re. postponement.
All riders are expected to read our waiver and group riding guidelines prior to attending any group rides.
