If you can’t make Mike’s wonderful ride in the evening (or want to get in all the riding that you can!), come for a spin along the Waterfront Trail early in the afternoon. It’ll be a 2 hour ride east out of Cobourg – 1 hour out and then turn back. How far and fast we go will depend on who’s out so it’s good to know who will be coming. we may even split into groups if there are several like minded people riding at different levels.

Date: Wednesday, June 3rd
Time: 12:30
Location: Donegan Park
Map: none needed – we’ll follow the Waterfront Trail east
Ride Coordinator: Maria Siemiaszko

Please indicate which level you think you’d like to ride at.

As we all know, two of our founding members, our current president Anita Macklin and past president Randy Albon will be getting married at Victoria Hall this Friday, June 5th. Another of our founding members, Paul Mills is organizing a group photograph of the happy couple and as many NHCC members as possible right after the nuptials. Paul has asked Brenda Nutter to take the photograph. Brenda is one of our members, and for those who aren’t aware of this, a very accomplished and renowned photographer who has travelled the world taking stunning photographs.

For anyone who is able to, please come to Victoria Hall, wear your jersey and bring your bike (if you can), and a big smile! We’ll form an honour guard as the newlyweds emerge from Victoria Hall. Paul will arrange for the bikes to be watched during the ceremony if you’d like to go into the Old Bailey to witness the ceremony.

Date: Friday, June 5th
Place: Victoria Hall
Time: 3:45 – assemble in front of Victoria Hall (wedding is at 4:00)
Please come to honour a couple who have done so much for this terrific club!

Sunday’s weather certainly hasn’t been  ideal riding weather and Monday’s looks a little iffy so we’ll postpone our ride until Tuesday. This won’t be any ordinary Level 1 ride! There’s a good possibility of invited dignitaries, live music at our ice cream stop at Dairy Dreams, lively discussion of local cycling issues, and more! Don’t miss this special ride – no matter what level you usually ride at, come for a short spin around town and learn what’s going on!

Date: TUESDAY, June 2nd
Time: 6:30
Meeting Location: parking lot behind Dutch Oven
Ride Leader: Maria Siemiaszko

We’ll be pulling into Dairy Dreams at 7:30 so if you can’t make the ride, feel free to join up with us for ice cream and ???

Update: Ride cancelled due to weather

As per our usual custom, Sunday’s ride will be a repeat of Thursday’s.  The ride leaves Donegan Park, and once we’re reached Orchard Road and County Road 25 just north of Colborne, the 54km riders turn south and head back to Cobourg while the 80km riders keep going to Brighton.

For those with the time and inclination to grab a bite to eat, there’s a Tim Hortons at the turn in Colborne, or Lola’s Coffee House in Brighton for those going the distance.  For those who’d like to make a stop, let the others know so people can find who they might ride with.

Date: Sunday, May 31st
Time: 10:00
Start location: Donegan Park, D’arcy Street, Cobourg
Maps: Printable 54 or 80km map here or view it on Ride with GPS
Ride Coordinator: Anita Macklin

As it turns out, we can give potential touring cyclists until Thursday, June 4th to register. For those who haven’t registered yet – you’ve got a few more days!

For those who don’t know, the NHCC has been an official “Club” since 2011–just four years ago! We have come a long way since then, almost tripling our membership. There was a time when there were no jerseys, or club colours, but we always had friendship. For a blast from those days, take a look and see where we were four years ago.

This week Thursday’s ride offers two options. Both start at Donegan Park in Cobourg and after a warm up, head for some hills, but when we’re at the Tim Hortons in Colborne, those wishing to do the 54km loop turn towards the lake and head back along the Waterfront Trail. Riders out for the 80km ride will continue on to Brighton where there’s the oppportunity for a lunch stop at Lola’s, on the main street in Brighton. The ride then heads back home along the Waterfront Trail.

Please indicate which distance you’re thinking of doing and whether you want to make the stop at Lola’s so others can figure out who they might be able to ride with.

Date: Thursday, May 28th

Fellow NHCCers,
We (Randy and Anita) are getting married on Friday June 5th and are having a casual celebration of our marriage from 7:00-10:00pm that same evening at Randys house. Just drop-in anytime! Our intention was to hand-deliver invitations to all our friends within the NHCC but are running out of time so here we go, we are posting this invitation right on our Club website! As NHCC-ers you are hereby invited to attend our evening celebration!

No gifts, please. Seriously! We have everything we need and more. However, please bring a lawn chair and your favourite beverage. Home brewed beer will be available as long as quantities last. There will be a variety of refreshments and desserts to nibble on. If however, one does feel incredibly compelled to bring some tasty ready-to-serve party foods, well…. ok, but it’s not necessary 🙂 (note that our kitchen will not be available for food preparation, and we will be outdoors)

If anyone feels so inclined and would also like to see the ceremony earlier in the day, it’s taking place at Victoria Hall at 4:00pm in the Old Bailey. All are welcome.

Time: anytime from 7:00-10:00
Location: Randys home
IMPORTANT: RSVP please: Just drop us a quick email to let us know you are coming so we can be sure to plan adequately. We’ll also supply you the address. anita@anitamacklin.com or randyalbon@gmail.com
