We will have lunch in the Guelph Lake Conservation
Area. Please bring some change as we may have to pay
the guard at the booth entrance. When I was there
Approx.. 10 years ago he waived us by
and we did not have to pay. Bring your bathing suit if
you want a quick dip. This is where the triathlons have
their big events.

This is the Tour de Hamilton in reverse. It includes a
very gentle ride up the escarpment along the old rail rail,
continue on through the rural roads, down Dewitt or
Fifty Rd and back along the beachfront.
The shorter two distances are on the east side of the
Grand River visiting the town of St. George. The longer
two distances cross the Grand River and experience
some hills.
