About this event
RWGPS Route Links
The Routes We'll saddle up in Sydenham this week. All the routes go east on Wilmer Road. The A, B and C then continue on the Opinicon Road out towards Chaffey's Locks and beyond.
The Opinicon Road goes past some of the prettiest lakes in the region, and has lots of twisty-turny and upsy-downy. The A, B and C routes are out and back ("double the fun" on this terrific cycling road?).
Parking The library and municipal buildings in Sydenham are undergoing renovations. Thus, you will likely need to park in the Point Municipal Park approximately 50 metres to the south.
Car Pooling Please consider!
Post Ride Refreshments We'll head over to the always friendly Lenny's Deli in Sydenham to refuel and share post ride stories.
