As you know, Cycle Transitions closed its doors last summer and has been looking for a new home since. We’re asking NHCCers to come out and support the proposal being be made to Town Council this Monday. Barry Thrasher, Director of Public Works will outline provisions for leasing Cycle Transitions approximately 2,000 square feet of space in the old Public Works building on King St west. The proposal has developed after many consultations with Mayor Gil Brocanier, Deputy Mayor John Henderson, Chief Administrative Officer Stephen Peacock and other town staff – all of whom have been extremely supportive and helpful! 

If Council approves the proposal, CT expects to re-open at the beginning of April just in time for the cycling season!! Please come out to show Council strong support for the proposal (wear your CT shirt if you have one).

Date: Monday, February 26, 2018
Time: 4pm (we’ll gather in the main lobby around 3:50)
Location: Council chambers, Victoria Hall

Here ya go folks, it’s your opportunity to make a difference! The strength and variety of our NHCC ride schedule is 100% reliant on our volunteers. We are looking for ride leaders for the 2018 cycling season. More leaders means more rides! What we want is to establish a pool of ride leaders for each level that coordinators can call upon to make sure that all rides are covered. New for 2018: Each of the ride levels has two scheduled ride nights per week this year!

We’ll train you. You don’t need to be super-fit or super-experienced. What makes you qualified? Being an NHCC member (of course)! And heck, just a willingness to help out a little, and have a little safety training under your belt (really, that part’s essential, but we’ll get you trained up with a few ride-leader-training days before the season gets underway). Even if you can lead just an occasional ride here and there, we’d be thrilled to have you lead. The proposed ride schedule for 2018 is as follows:

Monday evenings: Level 1, and Level 3
Tuesday evenings: Level 2, and Level 4
Wednesday evenings: Level 1, and Level 3
Thursday evenings: Level 2, and Level 4
Sundays: Varied ride levels
Weekday morning rides: Varied ride levels

You don’t need to be all skilled and confident yet—we’ll get you there! So, how about it? There’s no obligation at this point, we’re just seeking an expression of interest on your part! We’ll take it from there.

Okay, so it’s going to be a little on the soggy side, but if you just dress for the weather at least you won’t be cold. Umbrellas are our friends! Meet in the parking lot at the Port Hope Town Hall and we’ll explore. We’ll probably cover about 7-8km. Of course we can’t resist a little drink afterward….just sayin.

Start time: 6:00pm
Start location: Port Hope Town Hall parking lot
Hike leaders: Randy and Anita

This is not an official club event but since we’re an outdoorsy and adventurous bunch there may be some who would be interested in a free presentation at The Loft by Canadian River Expeditions and Nahanni River Adventures owner Neil Halting. It would be nice if anyone interested in going would leave a comment below.  There’s always the opportunity to make this more of a social event if you want to arrange to meet up for dinner and drinks beforehand!

Time:  7:00
Location:  The Loft Cinema, 201 Division Street, Cobourg
