Since evening rides have been squeezed out, we’ll start our Evening Hikes this coming Tuesday.  This is an opportunity to keep our legs moving, to explore Port Hope and Cobourg on two feet, and also get some social time in afterward (optional, of course).  We typically meet at 6:00 and go out for 1.5-2 hours of walking which usually translates into about 7-10km.  We’ll start out with shorter distances of course and build up as time goes by. 

We don’t just walk up and down the “regular” streets—oh no, no, no—at times we go off-road, down little alleyways, through hidden paths, maybe even along the beach.  Places you won’t find on your bike! So be sure to wear some comfy footwear, and layer for the weather. 

RSVP: As usual, let us know you are coming by RSVPing to the Cycle Club Events Calendar.

Guests are welcome provided they bring a signed waiver (no cost).  

Short notice, but hey….it leaves room for spontaneity! Mountain Biking today at 1:00. All the details are in your Cycle Club Calendar.

Start time: 1:00pm
Start location: Beagle Club Trailhead Parking lot
