Mountain biking
Saturday September 24th, 11:00 am,Three Stages (Collingwood)
This is an exploratory ride. It's been a few years since the mountain bikers been there, so we'll be taking it easy. Let me know at mountainbikingskier@hotmail.com if you plan to join us and I'll keep you updated on the plans. Three Stages Directions: To get to Three Stages from Collingwood, follow Grey rd. 19 until it starts to climb up the escarpment. As it goes up the hill, watch for where the Bruce trail comes out of the forest on the right. At this point there is an unmarked road on your left. Take this road to the left until the end, where there is parking. The great riding is just further down the old road about a km. Check out the schedule for more details and contact information. .
