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.

See "What to Bring on a Ride?" for suggestions.

If you haven't handed in a signed waiver form (only needed for your first ride), then see the important "Who needs to sign the Waiver Form?" FAQ info.
