Friday, June 17th: meet in Mahone Bay at 10 a.m. at the government wharf parking area just beyond the Mug and Anchor Pub. We have parked here in the past, with washrooms nearby and easy cycling out of the town. We will cycle to Second Peninsula and back, turning left at Mader’s Cove and cycling through Sunnybrook. If we are keen, we can cycle to the end of Second Peninsula. This is a beautiful ride, quiet and mostly level with the exception of a big hill at the beginning (in Mader’s Cove) and a big climb as we approach the beach in Second Peninsula. Traditionally, we turn around here (some of us have been known to swim…) and ride back the same way to Mahone Bay for a delicious lunch. I don’t know the mileage, but it matters not. We mostly stick together, and end up in the same place eventually! If anyone wants to carpool from Hubbards, let me know!

Friday, July 8th: Men invited! We will meet and park at the Sawpit Park on the back road to Lunenburg at 10 a.m.: there is usually parking by the wharf, and a johnny-on-the-spot. From here we cycle to Stonehurst, a  wonderful ride, via Blue Rocks and other wiggles around dead end roads, then head back for lunch in Lunenburg (getting cars first, or later? to be determined….) This is a relatively short ride, but hilly-ish. The views are gorgeous. We stop at my friend, Cindy’s, house to bask on her boathouse deck, and test our mettle in the freezing cold water of that dear little bay.

Friday, August 5th: Must be Carter’s…..our annual summer trip. Details to follow…mark the date!
