NOTE: The correct date is February, January 15th (not January as originally stated). Also, please note that it’s night skiing, not day skiing. (which means a different lift ticket).

Downhill Skiing at Brimacombe
It’s not an official club event, but there are a number of NHCC members heading to Brimacombe for some downhill skiing this Wednesday evening from about 4:30 until 9:00pm. Paul and Rick will likely be found on the Flyer ski run between 4:30 and 5:30 if you’re looking for a few familiar faces.

New Website address
We’re now easier to find on the internet and also easier to remember when we tell people how to find us! We’re now www.northumberlandhillscyclingclub.com

NHCC in the news
EMC Lifestyles (Trent Hills) ran a great article about our club. Check it out here Northwest EMC.

NHCC is incoroporating
We are in the process of incorporating the club and we expect this process to be complete before the official start of our riding season. The reason for this is to be in compliance with the Ontario Cycling Association’s requirement that clubs with 50 members or more do so.

The days are getting longer, so hopefully we’ll see you all on the roads soon!

If you somehow missed placing your order for a jersey, we took the liberty of ordering a few extra ones. Here’s what we have:

Women Medium (1)
Men Medium (1)
Men Large (2)
Men XLarge (1)

These are available on a first come first serve basis. If you want one they are $65 (taxes in) and you could email Anita and let her know you want one. You’re welcome to try it on for size first if you aren’t sure.

If you ordered a jersey and are not coming to the Cat and Fiddle on Thursday, we’ll just hold on to them until we see ya next! Or you could email Anita and make arrangements to pick them up earlier if you wish.

We enjoyed every moment! Four of us headed out to Cornish Hollow Road and weaved our way around the countryside and eventually made it back to Cobourg. The sun shone the whole time and the road conditions were great other than a few tiny patches of ice in the permanently shady portions of the road. Can’t complain now, can we?
