Pudding Hill Pedal
Lyndon
What to Expect:
This ride starts with a bang and a big climb up Pudding Hill. It is well worth the effort with incredible views of Burke Mountain along the entire Pudding Hill Ridge. It coasts down to Calendar Brook and then to the small village of Sutton before looping back (with some views to the north of the Willoughby cliffs). There is a short section on the class IV Lane Way. If riders would prefer the more traveled routes, they can continue straight on Pudding Hill Road rather than taking the right on Lane Way, but they will miss out on some lovely views from Old Coach Road. Sections of Pudding Hill as well as all of Calendar Brook Road are paved.
