We’re going 50km, starting in Cobourg. We’ll bike over to Port Hope and do the Glorious Ganaraska Route. Being a level 4 ride, road bikes are required and you must be equipped with a tire changing kit and spare tube. The group may stay together if appropriate, but may possibly break off into groups according to ability. In any event, be prepared for a fast and fun ride, in keeping with the NHCC ride standards for Level 4 that you can find right here. NHCC Ride Standards.

Start time: 6:30pm
Ride Coordinator: George Hussey
Start location: Canadian Tire parking lot, west end
Route map: Glorious Ganaraska (Northumberland Tourism)
Sunset: 8:56pm (Lights required at 8:26pm)

Let’s talk Lights: Believe it or not, the days are actually getting shorter! The Highway Traffic Act requires lights on bikes from 30 minutes prior to sunset, until 30 minutes past sunrise in the morning. We provide a handy dandy link in the right hand column of the website along with the other weather links so you can easily check sunset times.

The weather is about as perfect as it can get! Slap on some sunscreen, we’re heading out along the Waterfront Trail to Newcastle, circumnavigate the Port of Newcastle then ride back again. Make the distance as short as you want, by just turning around at any point and come back if you feel it’s just too far. If you can’t make it out on Thursday, we’ll do the same route on Sunday morning.

This Thursday morning ride will be self-leading (meaning, there may not be a ride leader available) So, arm yourself with the map or be sure you can access it on your cell-phone. Also be sure you have a tire changing kit just in case.

By the way, a quick poll for the morning riders.
