September 3, 2010 Elk Island Bike Trip

Posted on September 4, 2010 by

On a beautiful September 3, 2010 a number of club members biked at Elk Island National Park.  There were enough members to form a Green Group, 2 Blues and a Black.  The Blacks biked the length of the Park (about 20 km) plus another 10 km to Lamont and back, the Blues turned around at the Northern Park Boundary and the Greens took it a little easier.  On the way back, a southerly wind ensured that everyone got a good workout which just made the picnic lunch that much more enjoyable.
