45km - Bite Sized Groady

Terrain
The ride has mixed terrain, but is predominantly non-paved surfaces. Those non-paved surfaces are typically different kinds of gravel roads with some farm roads and a bit of trail mixed in. There are no long climbs (welcome to Southwestern Ontario), but there are several ravine areas that the ride crosses. these are typically the areas where short, punchy climbs exist.
