It’s Randys Friday Floater Ride and this one’s starting out of town for something a little different. It’ll be around 40-50k, starting in Brighton so huge hills are not anticipated. This will be a Level 3 ride and start at the YMCA in Brighton.

Thursday’s ride leaves King’s Field in Port Hope and heads west along Lakeshore Road. There will be some not-too-difficult hills which will build strength and lots of spectacular scenery. As usual, we will pause a few times for hydration/check in, and nobody will be left behind.
Time: 6:30
Meeting Location: King’s Field at Victoria Street and Ridout, Port Hope
Ride Leader: Pam Tate
Let’s have a repeat of last week’s fun ride. Debbie will be leading a Port Hope ride that goes from Beatrice Strong Public School down to the lake and back on quiet residential streets.
Ride Leader: Debbie Parks
Time: 6:30
Meeting Location: Beatrice Strong Public School, note this change to the SOUTH parking lot since the north parking lot was busy with ball games going on in the park, 90 Roseglen Road North, Port Hope
It’s that social time again! We had a great turn out last month so let’s repeat our venue and route. All Levels Rides are a monthly opportunity for all NHCC members to ride together, with the option to try out one of the other levels on an out-and-back route where nobody gets lost.
There will be 4 designated pace-setters among the group, riding at each of the NHCC defined Levels (1-4). Just pick the level you want to try, and follow that pace setter to see what riding at that level really feels like. If you change your mind mid-ride, no problem, just slow down and wait for a group that’s riding at the speed you like. The All Levels Ride is ideal if you think you’d like to feel what the other levels are like without committing.
It’s easy: We ride for 45 minutes (or less depending on your Level) then turn around and head back the same way you went. This ensures everyone finishes at the same time for the optional social part where we head indoors for drinks, wings, social time and meeting others.
Time: 6:30–8:00pm (ride) 8:00-9:30pm (social)
Start location: The parking lot at Franks Pasta and Grill
This coming Sunday is Father’s Day so to free up your day we’re having a shorter club ride. We will meet at King’s Field in Port Hope at 9:00 am. We’ll ride out Lakeshore Road to the west, past Port Granby as far as the railroad tracks. Then we will turn around and come back.
If anyone would like to extend the ride, you can cycle in from Cobourg or cycle further to the west than the rest of the group.
This ride and route is suitable for those Level 2 riders who would like to try riding a little further. There are some hills but no significant climbs. There will be stops as needed. As usual, this Sunday ride will be a no drop ride. So give it a try!
Apres ride at Coffee Public downtown Port Hope if anyone is interested.
Start Time: 9:00 am
Start Location: Kings Field Port Hope
Ride Distance: The core group will ride 35 km
Next Sunday we might tackle a 100 km ride around Rice Lake! Who’s with me?
Friday seems to be a day that works well for many, so we’ll do the Floater ride on Friday again this week. We’ll meet at the Arena on Furnace St. and go out for a distance of about 40k and a casual pace, much like Level 3. Nobody will get dropped or left behind, cuz that’s the way we roll!
Start time: 10am
Ride Leaders: Randy and/or Anita
Start location: The arena on Furnace St.
