There are several jerseys that still haven’t been united with their owners. They are ready for pickup at Anita’s house. Please email Anita to make arrangements, or leave a comment on one of the rides that you are attending and she’ll bring it with her. There are still a few extras, so if you want one they are $68 including taxes.

EASY RIDE: Monday August 27th, 6:30pm
What can we say? Mondays are EASY nights, so no stress involved—Just hop on your bike, pedal on over to the arena, and join others for a casually paced friendly ride. Talk about all your summer adventures, complain about school starting soon, and who knows what else. The important thing is that you get your legs moving have fun at the same time.

Location: Cobourg Memorial Rink and Recreation Centre on Furnace St.

Thursday August 23rd: Ride to Harwood and Back
There have been some fairly long distance rides lately, so we’ll make this one a little shorter and hopefully a little easier for some. It’s about 67 km if you start and finish at Donegan Park, and only 41km if you start at the corner of Cornish Hollow and Dale Rd. It’s a familiar route for most of us, but it is a nice one. If you are starting at Dale Rd. for the 41km route, get there a little early and plan to be ready to roll, (right beside the cemetery), when the 67k group rolls on through.
Start time & location:
9:00am (Donegan Park)
9:20 (Corner of Cornish Hollow and Dale Rd. by the cemetery)

If you wish to ride over there from Cobourg, meet at Canadian Tire at 6:00.
Start time: 6:30 pm (6:00 from Canadian Tire Cobourg)
Start location: Port Hope Town Hall
