The following is a Message from CT:
Great news! The Town of Cobourg has agreed to lease space in the old Public Works yard (390 King St W) to Cycle Transitions. The building is a 7000 square foot refurbished storage/work garage of which CT will make use of approximately 2000 square feet. We expect to move in mid-March with a re-opening to take place the first week in April.

As more details are worked out and we are able to set dates, we’ll provide you with more information including a call for volunteers to assist with moving in and setting up. We’re looking at two March Saturday mornings, one for clearing space and installing partition fencing, the other for unloading the storage semi-trailer and setting up the shop.
A reminder that all memberships will resume with the re-opening.

We give many thanks to Cobourg Council and staff for assisting and supporting us. They really stepped up and made things possible!

Since last Tuesday’s hike was canceled due to heavy rain, Roy will take the group on the 7km route that was posted for then.

As you know, Cycle Transitions closed its doors last summer and has been looking for a new home since. We’re asking NHCCers to come out and support the proposal being be made to Town Council this Monday. Barry Thrasher, Director of Public Works will outline provisions for leasing Cycle Transitions approximately 2,000 square feet of space in the old Public Works building on King St west. The proposal has developed after many consultations with Mayor Gil Brocanier, Deputy Mayor John Henderson, Chief Administrative Officer Stephen Peacock and other town staff – all of whom have been extremely supportive and helpful! 

If Council approves the proposal, CT expects to re-open at the beginning of April just in time for the cycling season!! Please come out to show Council strong support for the proposal (wear your CT shirt if you have one).

Okay, so it’s going to be a little on the soggy side, but if you just dress for the weather at least you won’t be cold. Umbrellas are our friends! Meet in the parking lot at the Port Hope Town Hall and we’ll explore. We’ll probably cover about 7-8km. Of course we can’t resist a little drink afterward….just sayin.

This is not an official club event but since we’re an outdoorsy and adventurous bunch there may be some who would be interested in a free presentation at The Loft by Canadian River Expeditions and Nahanni River Adventures owner Neil Halting. It would be nice if anyone interested in going would leave a comment below.  There’s always the opportunity to make this more of a social event if you want to arrange to meet up for dinner and drinks beforehand!

Time:  7:00
Location:  The Loft Cinema, 201 Division Street, Cobourg
