New website feature: The NHCC Message Board

Our website has a new feature—A discussion forum for people to post messages under a variety of topics.

Got a bicycle you want to sell? There’s a place to get the word out. Do you have some interesting pieces of advice that you could share with other club members? This is the place.

Take a look at the new NHCC Message Board

Ride: Saturday July 16: Interclub ride with the Ganaraska Freewheelers

This is a special event ride. There will NOT be a Sunday ride this weekend.

The Ganaraska Freewheelers have invited the Northumberland Hills Cycling Club to participate in a ride together, starting and finishing in Warkworth. Upon completion of the ride the NHCC and the Freewheelers will meet for dinner at the 100 Mile Diner and Pizzeria.

Please note: We expect the route to be hilly and the pace to be consistent with our host club, the Freewheelers. Those wishing to ride a shorter distance should review the map and make individual plans accordingly, as we will not be planning or leading a short route for this event.

Start location: Warkworth main street.
