This time we’ll depart from the parking lot of the Winchester Arms again and head out for a relatively easy ride, about 25 or 30km – no one will be left behind! The 40% chance of showers leaves a 60% chance that it won’t rain on us!

Bike Week is scheduled to take place from June 1-8 and the NHCC is always a big supporter. We are looking for some volunteers to cover a number of our commitments including:

• Leading 30 minute short Family Bike Rides (June 1st)
• Manning our NHCC information booth on (June 1st)
• Leading longer Community Bike Rides at other times during the week
• Other events too!

There are also other events taking place could certainly benefit from an extra hand. If you are able to volunteer your time for some activities, please email us and we’ll put you to great use!

23C and Sunshine….what more could we ask for? The weather is promising! As we did Thursday, Levels 3 and 4 take the same route until Kennedy Rd where they take different turns, meeting up again on Cavan Rd. Level 3 riders are expected to stay together in a group, but each should carry a map. Level 4 riders may (or may not) remain together throughout the ride, but each rider is expected to be self-sufficient and able to navigate independently if necessary.

Start time: 10am
Start location: The arena on Furnace St.

With all the sunshine in the forecast we anticipate a great turnout for this ride. 🙂

It’s a great route! Lovely hills, lovely scenery. Levels 3 and 4 ride the same route until parting ways on Kennedy Rd, meeting up again later on Cavan Rd. Level 3 riders will stay together in a group, Level 4 will break off into groups according to ability. Everyone should come equipped with a printed map.

Please leave a comment to let others know you are riding. It helps folks know in advance if there might be others to ride with at their pace.

The weather’s getting better all the time for riding so come on out for a nice tour of the beautiful countryside surrounding Port Hope and see the unfolding of the season. We’ll head out along Lakeshore Rd, go north on Willow Beach Rd then loop back along the 4th line and Sylvan Glen Rd. We won’t go too fast and no one will be left behind.

Meeting place: Northeast corner of Toronto Rd and Ridout St., across from Winchester Arms
Time: 6:30

The 5-week long NHCC Cycling Skills & Safety Course will happen, regardless of weather. You’ll need to bring your bicycles, but not to worry, there’s plenty of indoor bike-parking. There is still space to sign-up for the class! Just send us an email and we’ll count you in.
