This ride starts near the front of the WalMart parking lot (near the St. Jacobs Outlet Mall), goes north along the Avon Trail / Trans-Canada Trail to the Conestogo River, then west along the river, through the northern part of the village of St. Jacobs, along the Mill Race Trail / TC Trail, ending up at a small Dam and mini park area. This will be our rest stop before turning around and returning along the same route.
We need to travel on Farmers Market Rd for a short stretch at the beginning and cross King St N at a traffic light before we get to the trails.
