Calling all members of the NHCC! The 2nd Annual Tour de Northumberland Hills is on. Just like last year, it’s a fun, 21-stage ride that parallels the Tour de France but right here in Northumberland County. The three-week long Tour de Northumberland Hills mirrors the Stages in the pro Tour with our very own mini versions. With every stage completed you enter your name on our spreadsheet for a weekly prize draw. Ride all or just a few stages—it’s your choice. Don’t worry about fitness or gear—this is designed for every level of fitness!
The distances are easy! Each Tour de Northumberland Hills stage is 10% of the distance the Pro’s will ride on each given day. How simple is that!
