Sunday, December 11th: Ride from Donegan Park 10am

Forget the Christmas shopping, you’ve still got more than two weeks to go. There’s no snow predicted for Sunday, so you’d better not put your bike away yet because we’ll be riding again on Sunday. It’s predicting 2° so far and sunshine! Hey, with any luck we’ll be riding right up until Christmas time this year. Rumour has it that a few riders braved it and went out for a ride this morning.

As with Thursday, meet at Donegan Park and depending on wind patterns we’ll either head east toward Wicklow Beach or alternatively out to Theatre Rd and then to Cornish Hollow and beyond. Either way, the start point will be Donegan Park.

Start time: 10:00am

Route: If wind is north/south: Wicklow Beach and back (39km)

Sunday, November 27th: “Perrytown Pedlar” route, (10am, Port Hope start)

We’ll do it all again on Sunday, just in case you miss Thursday’s ride. Take the 42km or the 24k option, your choice. Begin in Cobourg and ride to the start point to add even more distance.

Jersey orders
By the way, the shirt order goes in on Thursday so if you haven’t already dropped off your payment, please do so before then or you’ll be shirtless! So far about 30-35 people have ordered shirts so we’re going to look awesome riding down the road in style come springtime. If you miss it this time around you’ll have to wait until we have 18 more sold before we place another order.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The Town Hall in Port Hope

So, what do you say?

Thursday, November 24th: “Perrytown Pedlar” route, (10am, Port Hope start)

This is one of those wonderful Ganaraska Freewheelers routes that always prove to be well thought out, and take in the best roads. Since we’ve been seeing a lot of Cobourg lately, we’ll try a Port Hope start and see some new scenery. It’s a 42km route with a shorter 24k option. If you want to add some distance, you could start in Cobourg and ride to the start point rather than driving. So far the weather is showing 8° and sunny. Not bad for November!

Start time: 10:00am

Summary of the NHCC AGM held last Tuesday

We had a fabulous turnout of friends and fellow cyclists at our Annual General Meeting held last Tuesday night. However, we understand that some people would love to have come but were unable to. We don’t want you to miss a thing so we’re publishing the full results of the Survey right here, as well as showing you the chosen jersey design for our club. Take a look at the survey results and discuss any items you wish by commenting below.

We still have a the Fit Kit available until Thursday of this coming week, so if you haven’t already done so, contact Anita and she’ll be happy to let you stop by and try one on for size. Even if you think you might want to wait till spring to order, try one on so that we will have your size on record. Also, the jerseys are an excellent price right now ($65 taxes in) and we’re not sure if we’ll still get that same price in Spring.

And here are the full results of the survey:

Sunday, November 20th: Ride at 10am

What sort of a bike club would we be if we didn’t do Bickle Hill one Sunday? So, here it is. And for those of you who might be feel a little intimidated by it, don’t! You can certainly do it if you pace yourself. If you go up and over and feel like you just want to cut the ride length you can take a little short cut in Camborne and then it’s easy riding the rest of the way back. And if you’re feeling great, there’s the Jamieson twins after that!  Do not stay home because you think you can’t……you can!  🙂

We’ll all ride at our own pace, and Novice riders—no need to worry. If you get part way up and say NoWay, you could just turn around and come back. How easy is that!

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The abandoned parking lot at the corner of Theatre Rd. and Hwy 2.
Route: Bickle Hill and More route map here. (33km)

Are you up for the challenge?  Oh, c’mon! Let’s do it!
