Pickering  to Cobourg- 105  km

Heading east from the City of Pickering, we will continue toward the town of Ajax and their incredible section of the Waterfront Trail, through Whitby, and Oshawa, as the Trail continues to offer hidden gems and beauty that are best seen on a bike or foot. Lunch this year will be hosted by Bobby C's in Clarington. Enjoy the ride after lunch as the topography changes on route to last year’s overnight in the heart of Port Hope. From there you are on the home stretch to the finish for Day Three in the beautiful beach town of Cobourg.

Rest Stop  - Port Hope
Historic Port Hope is renowned for its preserved downtown district, antiques and boutiques. Last year our much enjoyed overnight location. This year the last rest stop of the day on route to Cobourg. www.porthopetourism.ca

1:30 – 4:00

Overnight - Cobourg- Victoria Park

Yes, it's paradise.  Think tropical island white sand and clear blue waters.  The Cobourg Beach is a true beach-lover's paradise and you can enjoy the tree-shade of adjacent Victoria Park.  This overnight location couldn't be more perfect.  The beach and Victoria Park are within a quick walk of Cobourg's heritage downtown, so you can dine and shop and never move your bike!  It's a resort-style setting in friendly, small-town Ontario.

Heart and Stroke representatives will staff a display that quizzesparticipants on their understanding of the relationship between healthy eating and physical exercise. Just how long do you have to cycle to burn off
3 draft beer and slice pizza? Handing out fitness wheels, Spark for Healthy Kids pins and Red dress pins.

** Non Meal Plan - OYO (On Your Own) to explore the downtown
