Highlight of the ride
This is great ride for beginners that are interested in doing lots of smaller hill repeats. Kilbride Ontario is a small Rural community north of Burlington. Please note that rural roads do not have bike lanes however, traffic is light on Sunday morning.
My favourite part of this ride is enjoying the nature and all the small farms along the way. You will notice a lot of riders on the roads - from individual to larger organized group rides.
The hills are not overwhelming but there are many, including two longer 4% grade hills .
At the 25km mark in Moffat all riders stop at Dar’s Delights 11004 First Line Nassagaweya, Moffat
After Dar’s butter tarts it’s all downhill from there on the 1st line. If you are lucky enough to have the wind on your back that day you will get some nice speed without having to pedal too hard. This is one of the perks of this ride..... ah ;) enjoy
