The Ganaraska Freewheelers are hosting a joint ride with the NHCC on Saturday September 16th starting at Golden Beach Resort in Harwood. There are choices to shorten the route to either 20, 30, 40km, by choosing interconnecting roads along the route, or doing the full 51km. The restaurant is open for lunch or snacks afterward if you wish to partake. All you’ll need to do is let the ride leader know at the beginning of the ride so that the restaurant staff can be informed as to numbers.

The Third Annual Home Hardware Bike Up Northumberland joint-event fundraiser ride will take place on Saturday, September 9th in support of Northumberland County’s two hospital foundations (Northumberland Hills Hospital and the Campbellford Memorial Hospital).

There will be 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100km distance options to choose from, all following the Waterfront Trail eastbound and starting at Donegan Park!

We have a good number of members representing the NHCC and it would be great if more could join us.  We will meet at Donegan Park.  If you can’t ride you can always support a rider, or volunteer.

It’s not too late. Registration is still open!! Click here to register.  Or you can register at the start of the event at the following times depending on your distance:

100K – 7:00 am, 50K – 9:00 am, 25K – 10:00 am, 10K – 10:30 am, 5K – 11:00 am

The forecast is iffy for Thursday so we will keep our eye on the weather.  This a redo of a great ride we did back in July, but with a twist…… This time we are going to do it BACKWARDS.  Will the hills be better or worse? You be the judge.  Either way it should be a great ride.

The days are quickly getting shorter by the minute (or two) so don’t forget your lights!

Starting point: Furnace Street Arena
Time: 6:00 pm
Leader: Chris Miller
Route: Northumberland Hill Loop Backwards

There’s some bad weather blowing in this evening so to be on the safe side the Level 1 ride this evening is cancelled. Hope to see everyone at Bike Up Northumberland this Saturday!

Geoffrey will have tickets to the Annual Meeting.  The AM takes place Thursday, October 19th at the Best Western and is a fun evening. Cost is $30 per person and spouses and friends are welcome.

Cap off the Labour Day long weekend by joining us on a fun and challenging NHCC route.

We wont’t lie, there are a couple uphills but these will be balanced off by just as many fun descents.

The earlier start time (4:00) will give us plenty of time to complete the route before darkness and the expected drizzle in the evening.

That said, there will be plenty of rest stops to catch your breath and enjoy the scenery.  As always on Monday nights 2/3  no one will be dropped.

There will also be a couple turns that allow the  route to be cut shorter should anyone wish or need to head back into town earlier.

Lets have fun!!

Starting Point: Arena on Furnace Street

Time: 4:00 pm

Leader: Roberto/Allan

Route: To County Road 9 and Back
