      <title>BackRoads Cycling #8 (July 09, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Please note the &lt;strong&gt;start&amp;nbsp;time is&amp;nbsp;9:00 am.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp; "Sid's Cottage Ride!"&amp;nbsp; Approx 28km.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We will leave the cottage turning left onto Side Rd.#22. Turning left @ the stop sign onto 7th Line. Cross Hwy #26. Continue on 7th Line turning right onto Cnty Rd #12. Go straight thru onto the 16th Side Rd. Turn left onto 11th Line (Sydenham Twnship Rd). Watch for potholes!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Turn left onto 10th Side Rd (Derry Rd). Continue to #12 and turn left. Cross Hwy #26 again and turn right onto Side Rd #22. Turn right at the bottom of the road onto Lakeshore N. returning to the cottage. A rather short ride, only 28km but plenty of rolling hills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone wishing a longer ride can continue north on #112 to the Irish Mountain Challenge &amp;amp; the Tank Range Rd returning via Side Rd #22 back to the cottage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After the ride you can cool off with a swim, simply wet your feet in the water or you may choose to just sit in the shade on the beach and enjoy the view.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Hiking down a notch #8 (July 09, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Nipissing Ridge Trail is a lovely trail just south of the Georgian trail and west of Blue Mountain Road.&amp;nbsp; It follows a stream, winding through a forest area.&amp;nbsp; It is relatively flat, with a few inclines and declines.&amp;nbsp; The path is well trodden and very popular. Many of you would have done this trail with the snowshoe group; it is one of my favourite local trails.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Time: about 1- 1.5 hour&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hike leaders: Ilene and Louis&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Hike #11 (July 15, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note this is a Wednesday hike 9:30 start&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Vicki K will lead this hike.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We will see lovely views over Beaver Valley, ravines, a flowerpot and the headwaters of Indian Brook where the water breaks free from the rock, joins the stream, and tumbles over dolostone ledges on its way to Georgian Bay. We will also pass the E.C. Carr Astronomical Observatory (RASC). The mainly forested loop is formed with the side trail and the main Bruce trail. With all the milkweed in the meadow area there are normally lots of monarch butterflies.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;This is an easy 4 km hike, but is rated moderate due to several uneven, rocky ascents/descents, including one long ascent. Hike time is approx 1.5 hours.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Please carpool as the parking is very limited. Click on the red word &amp;nbsp;‘Registrants’ to see&amp;nbsp;who is attending.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We will meet at the end of 6th Line, north of Grey Rd 119, west of Banks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Please bring water, bug spray and hiking poles.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Reminders and cancellations are only sent to those who register so please register if joining us in order to receive any changes or cancellations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://beavervalleyprobus.com/resources/Documents/Events/2026/2026-07-16_NashvilleMusicTheatre.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="200" height="133" align="left" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 5px; margin-left: 5px;"&gt;We’ve never been disappointed in a King’s Wharf Theatre production, so join us for another fun musical production from Drayton Entertainment. This feel-good revue encompasses the musical evolution of Nashville becoming the uncontested home of country music. Nashville Music City shines a neon light on the artists and songs that gave the city its name; the hits of Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Shania Twain and Taylor Swift plus many others are featured in this toe tapping production.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With only 63 spots&amp;nbsp;available for our Club tickets will go fast!&lt;br&gt;
To avoid disappointment please confirm and pay early. Because tickets must be purchased well in advance, online payment by credit card will be required at the time of registration to confirm your spot.&amp;nbsp; Please add your name to the waitlist if the event sells out, as we may be able to obtain more tickets.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Rocklyn Creek Hike &amp; Lunch (July 22, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;This hike is on a &lt;u&gt;Wednesday at &lt;span style=""&gt;9AM&lt;/span&gt;: Rain or Shine.&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp; I have made a reservation at the Inn at the Falls, at Walter's Falls for lunch (optional). Please advise me by return email if you are joining me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;We are &lt;u&gt;very lucky&lt;/u&gt; to have &lt;strong&gt;Beth Gilhespy&lt;/strong&gt; lead us on this hike!&amp;nbsp; Beth is well known for her Bruce Trail Conservancy work and is currently the CEO of the Escarpment Biosphere Conservancy. We are looking forward to her sharing some of her knowledge of the area and the geological strata.&amp;nbsp; In addition she has promised to bring along some of her books about this area and the trails, for sale after the hike.($37). I hope we have a very good turnout for this special hike.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;As always, please ensure you have the physical ability to handle the length, difficulty and pace. Reminders and cancellations are only sent to those who register so please register if joining us in order to receive any changes or cancellations. As this is a limited number hike please cancel if you can't make it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;This hike is at the beginning of the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail. It's a delightful walk that&amp;nbsp;starts at, and then passes through, two historic communities. In addition to signs of settler history there are beautiful deep forests and rocky outcrops. The final stretch follows a sparkling tributary of the Rocklyn Creek as it tumbles down a washboard of Manitoulin Dolostone layers.&amp;nbsp; The terrain is rocky but not terribly difficult. No scrambling or big hills but regular ups and downs.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;The length is 7.4 kms.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Aprox. 3.5 hrs with many stops to appreciate the terrain. We will need a few volunteers to drive us from the parking area to the start at Blantyre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;Bruce Trail Map 28.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Due to the hike length bringing a&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;snack and water is highly recommended!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hiking poles and boots, plus bug&amp;nbsp;spray&amp;nbsp;are also recommended.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;Meeting spot details will be sent via the Registration Confirmation and Reminder emails.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bike Trail Details:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is one of my favorites, the Tiny Trail from Wyevale to Penetanguishene. The ride will last 2 hrs. and be 15km each way (30km).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We will be on a wonderful Rail Trail with great views of the countryside, farms, a golf course, the Blue Mountains (far far away) and of course the Penatang Harbour.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is a flat trail until 5 km from Penatang where we will cross the Copeland Creek 10 times with ups and downs each time…. This is the fun part and we get to do again on the way back.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We will take a water break at the Champlain Statue in the park in Penatang, there is Chip wagon nearby for riders that have worked up a appetite, then we return to Wyevale for the world’s best soft serve Ice Cream at the Jug City.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Please note that if this Session needs to be cancelled due to weather an&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;announcement will be sent by 8:00 a.m. on the date.&lt;/p&gt;
