Thursday Sept. 29: The final evening Level 4 ride (level 3 can come too)!

Posted on September 27, 2016 by nhcycling

This is it folks, the final evening ride of 2016 season! We’re gonna make this one count, make it fun, and if you want we can head into Boston Pizza afterward to eat a little something. Limited daylight hours mean just a 60 minute ride. By the way, we won’t be going super fast or speedy, so if level 3 riders will be quite suited for this ride too if you want to squeeze in one last evening ride!

Start time: 6:00pm
Start location: Boston Pizza parking lot
Ride Leader: Anita Macklin
Route: We’ll surprise ya!

Cancelation Monday, September 26th rude

Posted on September 26, 2016 by Maria Siemiaszko

It’s probably pretty obvious, but tonight’s Level 1 ride is rained out. We’ve had a great season with only one (or two?) other rain cancelations so we’ve been fortunate that way, but the season’s last evening ride will not happen tonight. Stay dry and warm and we’ll post some daytime and weekend rides when possible.
