Thursday Sept. 22: Evening Ride, about 25km

Posted on September 22, 2016 by nhcycling

The sun sets at 7:08 tonight, so we’re only going to get in about one hour of riding. Looking at the weather forecast it appears that tonight will be the last of the relatively warmish evenings. We won’t be riding particularly fast or very hilly, but just getting out to enjoy a little pedal-time. Make sure you have lights on the front and back of your bike, it’s actually the law!

Start time: 6:00pm
Ride Leader: Anita Macklin
Start location: Westwood Park (Carlisle St.)
Route: Mystery route to be determined

Thursday, September 22nd: 100km ride (or make it what you want)

Posted on September 21, 2016 by Maria Siemiaszko

Maria Siemiaszko and Lee Wakelin are going out for Lee’s first 100km ride and if anyone wants to come out with us, you are most welcome to! Be it your first 100km as well, or whether you’ve done plenty, be forewarned that the pace will be not be fast! We’ll be taking breaks along the way too. It’ll be a little different from our usual club route as we’re starting in Colborne and heading east and eventually onto Cty Rd 3 in Prince Edward County, which has some pretty views.

If you want to come out for a Level 2 pace ride but don’t have the time or inclination to ride 100km, you can turn around at any point.

Bring snacks, lots of fluids, and some money. Let us know if you’d like to come out so we can let you know if plans change in any way.

Date: Thursday, September 22nd
Time: 10:30
Meeting Location: Keeler Centre, Colborne
Distance: 100km (or whatever) at a Level 2ish pace (or whatever Lee wants to do!)

CORRECTION: The days that AGM tickets are available in Port Hope from Debbie should be: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays (not Wednesday)

Wednesday Sept. 21: All Levels Ride & Pub Social from The Mill

Posted on September 20, 2016 by nhcycling

Being the third Wednesday of the month means it’s an All Levels ride! This will actually be the final All Levels ride of our official 2016 cycling season, though there will be plenty of other rides to look forward to. As usual, we have one route, one start time. Since daylight hours have shrunken to the point where sunset is at 7:09pm, we’ll just do a simple 60 minute ride. 30 minutes out, turn around and ride 30 minutes back at whatever pace you feel like doing! By the way, friends and family are more than welcome to join us at The Mill after the ride for the social!

Start time: 6:00pm (Ride), and 7:15pm (pub social)
Start location: Parking lot at The Mill
Ride Coordinator: Anita Macklin

RSVP: We need to make sure they reserve enough space for us, so please leave a comment to let us know you’ll be around for the social portion.
