The collection of route instructions and a set of maps can be purchased for $5 at the club office. The maps - there are about ten base maps - identify all the roads we ride on but not all roads in the region. If you wander off a route, the map may not be useful in getting back on. The OBC routes (about 50? different ones) are not marked or highlighted on our maps. That is something you would have to do yourself from the route instructions.
The maps are proprietary to the OBC, so I'm not sure we want to make them available on-line - another "privilege of membershp". Maybe we could sell electronic copies to members on a promise not to publish them without permission. Although I think some have handdrawn alterations. BTW, on behalf of the OBC, I participated in the preparation of the cycling map (Advermap) published by Ontario East Tourism Association. Many of our favourite Sunday ride routes are highlighted on it. The latter may be the better option. I could be wrong, but there may even be a few copies for sale at the office.
