Enjoy a Sunday version of the Ponds and Forests Ride from Smolak Farm, which is run on Wednesdays throughout the riding season.  A variety of routes are offered that take in many of the quiet, scenic back roads of the North Shore with many nice farms and ponds on view.  The terrain includes a number of relatively flat sections and a few challenging hills.
