**Please note the earlier start time.** For the last two weeks we have not been able to ride—and now this week we are in the middle of a "heat dome". So this week we will attempt one of my favourite rides instead of the onerous around Lake Eugenia. We will do the Collinwood to Stayner ride and it follows the rail trail across the farm land and ends right at a coffee shop in Stayner. A break with the possibility of refreshments and washrooms. Then we will return to Collingwood.

After this ride I will be taking a break till after Thanksgiving as relatives (multiple sets!) will visit and we will be away a fair bit of time. After Thanksgiving we will then start again ad do the Tay trail with the Fall colours on display. There are several great trails that are worth a ride on a beautiful Fall day.

MEETING SPOT: We will meet at the Collingwood Museum @ 8:30 AM (yes it is early), which is at 45 St Paul St, right of Hwy #26. There are parking spots by the museum and also on the streets surrounding the Museum.

Please ensure to bring lots of water. As I see on the weather forecast there is a chance is will be hot and yet also the possibility of showers. I will send out a note by 7:30 AM if the weather will be a hindrance on that particular day.
