The road ride led by Karen and Jubran goes to Belfountain, Erin or Hillsburg on the hills of CR 22. If you want to take the Elora Cataract trail back from Hillsburg save the Hillsburg ride as well and plug it in once you get to Hillsburg.

I think the Bridges of Wellington County Gravel ride is the most beautiful ride out of Fergus. We will start out the first 8K with the road riders then break off. At Orton we'll head north to the Grand River and then go across four bridges. When not ascending or descending from the bridges, we will ride along the top of the valley with great views. We will have a late lunch in Bellwood but bring a sandwich just in case. Pay attention to bridge architecture along the ride. There are new and old bowstring bridges, laminate railing bridges and truss bridges.
