I'm down. Route looks very chill. Just the way i like it. Weekend during the AM would be my preference.

Weekend during the AM is perfect.
I'm an early riser, 4am, so any time after that is fine with me.
Earlier the better, cooler, less people, fresh air. my bike is quiet
Although if you ride a HD I have one of those also, But very VERY LOUD., great in the mountains, but not so much in city.
As far as pace, I ride the route for the scenery (wooden bridge, lake view) and to have a coffee in Port Hope (quaint little town) as a destination.
However, i am open to any ideas that spark the imagination.
Note to bicycle warning, I ride a bicycle in the morning before work, with a flashing red light on my back, white on front, and a mirror.
I also ride as tight to shoulder as I can safely.
Nothing annoys me more than bicyclists that do not move over for faster traffic, or think they are in the Tour De France.
That said I try to avoid and give wide bearth to all my fellow cyclists, becautse I really appreciate that done for me.
Post back or email me "afici0nad0"

OK cool. Will PM you when i know i can break out during one of these weekend AMs.
I have an HD 48 as well. Either way we can match up on bike type once we commit.
Pace = chill/relax. No intention of breaking any sound barriers

What roads do you suggest? Harwood Rd up north and then Rd 45 up to hastings? Personally, I have not ridden much in that area.
Really nice area without cottage traffic. Have added a stop at the Schnitzel Shack. (If you are really hungry). They have a nice shaded patio area you can eat in the side yard.
Here is a quick loop

If you want a bit longer, head to havelock and take cr 44 north. At the end of 44, you arent far from northeys bay road which is also nice.
Good luck! I have in-laws visiting in a couple of weeks so something or the other comes up over the weekend. I usually aim to venture out early morning and try to get back before noon. That way wife has to wait till noon to share her (disappointing) thoughts about me.
