We considered a ride to Stoney Lake Market from Hastings but in case we do get some precipitation to slick up the roads it’ll be safer on the trail. There and back is 66km with a stop at Tim Hortons in Peterborough. If anyone wants to do a shorter ride there is the opportunity to turn around at any point. Temperatures should be nice for an October ride!
Date: Sunday, October 15th
Time: 10:00
Meeting Place: Richard’s house, Hastings (leave a comment if you need the address sent to you)

We are looking for photographs! One of the highlights of our evening is to view pictures of the past season. If you happen to have images of any of our 2017 events and would like them shared at the Annual Meeting, please forward them to: nhcycling2010@gmail.com

It’s been a fabulous season for evening riding, even though it started off rainy and a little on the chillyish side. However, all good things come to and end and so too must the Evening Ride Program. The days are just getting too darn short. The NHCC wants to extend a wonderful, ever-grateful and sincere thank you for all the effort put forth by ride coordinators & leaders this season. Without them, nobody rides! They are the ones who literally put the rubber to the road to make it happen.

Don’t put away your bikes yet! For the balance of the season we will continue to ride on weekends or weekdays whenever weather permits and a ride leader is available. Please monitor the website for announcements of such rides. They are usually posted a couple of days in advance.

In the meantime, plan to attend the Annual Meeting & Social Soiree in just three weeks, on Thursday October 19th. That’s when we’ll be officially celebrating all that the season has brought to us, and look ahead to the next season!

For AGM Attendees only: All who attend the Annual Meeting and Social Soiree will have the opportunity to pickup a 2018 membership for just $35 shrimpy bucks. It’s the best price you’ll see for next year’s memberships and it’s offered at this price for one night only.

You can get tickets from ride leaders, or if you can’t seem to connect with one, contact Anita at nhcycling2010@gmail.com
