September 26 Ride in Georgefield (Hants County)

Fun Trail Ride - Georgefield, Hants County September 26, 2010

Wendy Vissers of Stewiacke will be hosting the next Fun Ride at her family campsite in Georgefield, on the Georgefield Road.

Wendy says the the trails are old logging roads that have grown over - meaning that there is grass on them, but she wouldn't call them turf. It's pretty easy going and we should be able to move on in places if the group wants to up the pace. There is a small section of road which is pavement, but the traffic on this road is very light.

Georgefield is found from highway 14 - from Rawdon, head towards Elmsdale.

When you get to Cheese Factory corner turn left up the hill - the old road towards Shubenacadie.

From Elmsdale head towards Rawdon.
When you get to Cheese Factory corner turn right up the hill - the old road towards Shubenacadie.

From the turn at Cheese Factory Corner to the Georgefield Road is about 10 km.

Trailer drivers take note: There is a big hill on this road that you will travel down.
The Georgefield Road is on the left and it is signed.
I plan to mark with red balloons.

There are no other turns to make - Georgefield Road will take you past the dump - just keep going until you see signs that I will have up (probably pie plates) telling you that the driveway is coming up. The driveway is on the left and there is a black iron gate at the bottom and a log cabin at the top. The cabin will be open so we have a washroom and full kitchen if we need. There is an outdoor well with lots of good drinking water. The trail won't have much for drinking maybe some puddles.

Everyone is welcome and I don't need to know the number of people coming - but if anyone has questions about directions they can call me 639-1243.

Start time: 10 AM and we will have a tail gate lunch when we finish the ride.
