Very Hilly - This route is custom made to take as much of the hills in as you feel up to, if you're not up to the hills there are opportunities to go short, we will all end up at the same place.

One of the nicest steady climbs in the area @slice[Mississauga Rd](d,35340.68,38999.38), has a fresh asphalt surface laid in 2013 with wide shoulders for good clearance, descend Olde Base Line Rd. passing the @poi[The Cheltanham Badlands](507595)(Remember this descent as you will be climbing it on the return journey ;) save yourself some energy for the remaining climbs through @point[Inglewood](d,44135.66), !Caution! when crossing Hurontario Street and the @slice[rollers of The Grange Side Rd.](d,48040.61,53602.41) then up North on Heart Lake Rd. @50km is a less travelled route but  challenging climb for approx. 5km  & 148m Alt. gain good pavement and trees that over hang the road make for a very picturesque climb. Passed Escarpment Side Rd. is 3km of short power hills you may loose count!  @slice[!Caution! when bridging across Charleston Side Road Hwy.24](d,56626.3,57960.79) which can be busy. Horseshoe Hill Rd. is  a rolling descent to flush out the legs, don't overdo the descent because your going to need your energy for the last climb of @slice[St. Andrews Rd.](d,65281.79,70879.82) This is a very nice climb that starts gradually and spikes to 6.5% after the big sweeping curve that passes a traditional links-styled golf course "The Devil's Paintbrush".  You're at Escarpment Side Rd. again and you will need to keep going over power hills to @slice[!Caution! Charleston Side Road which can be busy](d,72167.25,73549.82). Descent of Mountianview Road is fairly fast and in 2014 received large sections of asphalt resurfacing that hide all the patch work that used to adorn the road like a quilt :P Now a left, a right &  
you have a arrived to Caledon East! Lots of options for treats or restock on liquids including:

[**@poi[Gabes Country Bake Shoppe](507597)**](http://www.gabescountrybakeshoppe.com)

After leaving the rest point you will wiggle your way through a Caledon East neighbourhood to end up on Mountianview Rd. taking it South we will turn West onto Olde Base Line Rd. passing thru a round-about at Horseshoe Hill Rd. crossing the lights at Hurontario Street head into the credit valley of Inglewood for the begining of the Olde Base Line Rd. climb !Important: Pace yourself, it's long and you will need to change your rhythm! Passing The Cheltanham Badlands again we turn South at Mississauga Rd. for a speedy descent, making a West turn onto King Street.

Note: On your return there are options to shorten the route back taking [Heritage Road](http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2258649) but if you go for the entire route you will visit Terra Cotta a quiet little village then head around the back way around to the newley paved road @slice[Clayhill Rd.](d,108350.96,108899.42) that will take you to the village of Glen Williams, option to stop for Coffee again at the @poi[Glen Oven Bakery](1509845) or just stop at the @point[conveinence store at the corner](d,112742.98) for liquids, or keep going up the stubburn @slice[Wildwood Rd. hill](d,112851.77,113393.36), then head North to the 22nd Side Road to take us East over to Limehouse named after the Lime production carried out in the 1800's The Bruce Trail runs through the @poi[Limehouse Conservation Area](1509841) we pass the parking lot located on 5th Line. The rest of the way back will be downhill and easy rolling.
