Highest Point

The challenge we put to local riders is to explore beyond habitual rides; to ride some of the quiet, rarely visited roads that make our region special.  Each of the routes we have selected is challenging but with each hill, riders are rewarded with both great views and a deep sense of accomplishment.  

The right to Hastings is another icon Peterborough ride.  Although the rail trail is considered to be “easy riding” the 73km distance makes this many peoples’ first big ride.  Worth every bit of effort, the route winds through historic farmland to Hastings at the eastern tip of Rice Lake, where riders can rest and refuel for the trip home.
