This is it, folks! Our AGM is fast approaching.  You can secure your ticket for next Thursday night’s (October 25th) event by contacting us at info@northumberlandhillscyclingclub.com and we will sort out how to get it to you. It’s only $30 for a great buffet meal and an evening of celebrating with friends. If you are thinking “Hey, I didn’t really ride much, so I better stay home” we’re here to say “Come on out anyway! We would love to see you.” Just let us know how many are coming so we can convey the necessary information to the Best Western staff who will ensure enough food for everyone!

Heather will lead our first fall hike this Sunday. The distance will depend on who decides to join but it will most likely be the Green B loop which is 10km.
The parking lot is accessible from Hwy 45 via Beagle Club Road.
All are welcome! Please RSVP if you plan to hike so that we know you are coming. Bring water and snacks.
Hopefully the weather gods will favour us and we will be able to enjoy the glorious colours!

Start Time: 1:30
Meeting Location: parking lot at Beagle Club parking lot
Hike Leader: Heather Read
Please note that non members will need to bring a signed waiver form but do not need to pay for off season activities.

After stuffing the turkey and ourselves over the weekend it’ll feel good to enjoy the beautiful weather with a ride. Route to follow but we’ll do about 50km.

Time: 10:00
Meeting Location: Keeler Centre, Colborne
Ride Leader: Maria Siemiaszko

Friday Floater Ride! It’s happening in the afternoon and Maria has a beautiful 112km route planned that will take us from Campbellford through Stirling and Tweed with an elevation gain of 499 (not 500….cuz mentally, 499 is better!) We are also looking at 20c plus sunshine. Please note that we are starting at the south end of Saskatoon Dr., not the Rotary Centre (see the map). It’s gonna be a beauty ride! 

Please, leave a comment to let us know you will be riding.

Start time: 1:00pm
Ride leader: Maria Siemiazsko
Route: Campbellford Run #2 route map here on Ride with GPS
Start location: Ferris Provincial Park–Take the bridge across the river, turn immediately on Front St. S, then continue onto Saskatoon Dr all the way to the end. There is a small parking spot to your right.

The sun is scheduled to shine, there’s 17c in the forecast and we have 90 minutes for a bike ride! We’ll ride out-and-back (Waterfront Trail westbound), ensuring we complete the ride by the time it’s dark. 45 minutes out, 45 minutes back. Short, simple, & fast! It’s Level 4, so expect some speed, but if you just want to lollygag, that’s okay too. We’ll buddy up so nobody rides alone, and we’ll all start and finish at the same time. Recharge your lights tonight and be prepared! Starting at Westwood Park.

Start time: 5:30pm
Ride Leader: Anita Macklin
Sunset: 6:59pm
Route map: not required (Waterfront Trail Westbound)
