If the weather holds up, we’ll head out for a 75 minute ride. Maybe we’ll head up towards Baltimore at a fairly relaxed pace with no crazy hills.

Date: Friday, November 6th
Time: 1:00
Start Location: Cycle Transitions, 739 D’Arcy Street, Cobourg
Ride Leader: Maria Siemiaszko

Oops. The correct date of the ride is Thursday November 5th at 10:30am

We make hay while the sun shines (or so the saying goes). It’s going to be another warm day, minimal likelihood of rain, so we’re riding!

Start time: 10:30am
Ride leader: Geoffrey Honey
Start location: 210 Wilmott St., (Industrial parking lot)
Level of difficulty: TBD, based on participation

Be brave! Leave a message! It’s easy! Plus, it helps Geoffrey to know what sort of route & pace to plan out in advance.

The NHCC Annual General Meeting is approaching on November 18th, 2015 and at that time we will seek to fill either one or two openings for directors on the Board. Anyone club member willing to invest a little time, and enthusiasm is eligible! It’s an opportunity to get involved and help shape the future direction of the NHCC.

The Board consists of up to 7 Directors who meet 4-6 times annually, typically at a director’s home. Some club business may be conducted via email from time to time if appropriate. Once assembled, the Board will decide on a meeting schedule that’s most convenient for it’s members. You may also be asked to get involved in various activities where your expertise and interests could really assist.

There are 2 positions open for the 2016 Board of Directors, each running for a term of up to 3 years. What does the Board of Directors do, you ask?

• Primarily—develop Club direction and policy
• Secondarily—organize, oversee and/or participate in sub-committees such as the Cycle Touring Sub-Committee, Ride Leader Development Training, Membership Committee, Off-season Activities, etc.
• Three directors are assigned by the Board to fill the roles of President, Secretary, and Treasurer

This week may be our last blast of warmth and sunshine, so we’ll make the most of it on Wednesday afternoon. The forecast is nothing but sunshine! We’ll do one of our club’s favourite rides, a nice 55km ride along some familiar roads up toward Harwood where we can sneak in a butter tart (or two). If numbers permit, we will ride in two groups–Level 3 and Level 4. Alternatively, we’ll remain all together at a pace dictated by the skill and interest of the group.

Start time: 1:30pm
Start location: The arena on Furnace St.
Route Map: Printable 55k map/cue sheet or link to it on Ride with GPS
Ride Coordinator: Anita Macklin
Level of difficulty: Levels 3 and 4

So how ’bout it? Let’s make this a great one, and leave us a comment to let everyone know you’ll ride.

Reminder that tonight is the Halloween Ride/Hike & Potluck. We have options for you! If you want to partake in the bike ride we have a 36km route leaving at 4:00. If you prefer just to leave the bike at home and go for a hike it’s departing also at 4. Then of course is the Potluck which takes place at 6:00.  If you are planning to attend but need an address, please email us and we’ll fire it off to you.  nhcycling2010@gmail.com

CANCELLED: Due to poor weather we are cancelling the morning ride.

Can’t say for sure what the weather will do, but if it cooperates there will be a Thursday morning ride at 10:30am. Please leave a comment if you are planning to ride, it helps Geoffrey plan a little in advance regarding route and pace.

Start time: 10:30am
Ride leader: Geoffrey Honey
Start location: The industrial parking lot at 210 Wilmott St.

So how ’bout it? You gonna ride? Let us know!

Well okay, maybe it won’t be too spooky, but it will be fun. This Saturday is Halloween and it’s forecast to be 10c so we may indeed get a ride in before our social event for NHCC members & friends! It’ll be fun to dress up scary and make spooky potluck things, but if you really just wanna be “normal” that’s okay too, just come out and enjoy! Check out all the details of the Ride & Potluck here.

Put on a few layers, and some sunscreen too! The sun is going to shine all day tomorrow and it’s going to be 13C so what better to do than to ride your bike. Geoffrey will be leading a ride for any who want to get in yet another ride before the days turn cold.

Start time: 10am
Ride Leader: Geoffrey Honey
Start location: Cobourg Memorial Arena (Furnace St.)

With fewer riding at this time of the year, it’s soooooo appreciated if you could leave a comment if you plan to ride so that Geoffrey knows in advance that indeed there are people coming out to ride. Plus, it encourages others too.
