Here are just a few great reasons to come out – renew your membership for 2020 at a special rate for one night only at $35, purchase a short sleeve jersey from our limited stock at a discounted price, get a sneak peak of the new NHCC jersey design for our 10-year Anniversary next year, support your cycling club and socialize with friends. A few presentations will be made and we are incorporating new bylaws (available here) for our club.
