do not deviate from the maps below unless you are using paved public roads.

We have 4 loops - 10, 20, 30 and 53 km, and a 60K point to point from Paris To Ancaster. These Pre Rides avoid private property and also public property where trail damage may occur due to early spring use. Please use common sense - if it rains 10mm the day before you want to pre-ride it probably isn't the best day to be using anything other than pavement.
