Calling All Easy Riders!
obc.club...@gmail.com
An Easy Rider? What's that, you might ask. Well, it is a rider who likes to roll at a gentle speed, around 20km/h; someone who likes to chat, inspect country gardens and take a civilized break at the halfway point at a bakery or coffee shop. If that is you, then Easy Riders are what the OBC is looking for.
Four rides have been organized for this summer on a trial basis; two in July and and two more in August as follows:
Sunday, July 10: Departure from Billings Bridge. Destination: Blackburn Hamlet. Distance 47km. Travel Time: It depends.
Sunday, July 24: Departure from Hilton Garden Inn. Destination: Take another bite coffee shop and bakery in Manotick. Distance: 50km. Travel Time: Unknown.
Sunday, August 14: Departure from Andrew Haydon Park. Destination: Aquatopia in Carp. Distance: 56km. Travel Time: We'll see.
Sunday, August 21: Departure from Moussette Park in Hull. Destination: La Cigale ice cream shop in Old Chelsea. Distance 45km. Travel Time: Not sure.
Members must register with the OBC office to participate in these rides in order to supply a group leader. A minimum of 6 riders is required to offer these special rides.
