There’s a 12 km Shelter Valley Area Hike on the schedule for Saturday. The weather so far shows 3C and no snow. We’ll borrow a route from the Pine Ridge Hiking Club which encompasses an unmaintained and back country roads. Bring a snack and drink. Should be a great outing! After the hike if you are feelin’ social, we’ll head back to Anita & Randy’s for hot chocolate, or even a homebrew.

Date: Saturday, December 13th
Time: 1:00
Place: Meet on Shelter Valley Road just north of Hwy 2. We’ll drive up to the starting point together
Hike Leader: Maria Garrett

If you plan to come, please leave a comment letting us know so we can make sure to have enough hot chocolate to go ’round.

March break is coming up, and George from Port Hope Bicycle is looking to see if there any people interested in possibly heading southward for some cycle touring in North Carolina? It doesn’t have to bee all-out speedy break neck riding. He will plan according to the interests and abilities of those who want to go!

No commitment required yet. Just leave a comment to let George know that there’s enough interest to begin planning.

*Note: The nature of this event is not covered by our Club insurance program. Participants would be required to make suitable insurance arrangements in advance.

Yep, Wednesday night hikes is where you’ll find a small but dedicated group of NHCCers who are making sure we keep moving with some off-season activity. We typically go out for about 1.5 hours and often head into a local establishment for tea afterward. (okay, so some partake in a beer). This week, Randy and Anita are going to lead the way. To where, we don’t really know yet. Afterall, when we aren’t on the bike, we are like fish outta water, but we do have fun!

Start time: 6:00pm
Start location: Port Hope Town Hall parking lot
Pseudo hike leaders: Randy and Anita

Leave us a comment, let us know you are coming.

Are you coming? We really like it when people let us know. It lets others know that there really are people showing up!

Us volunteers at the NHCC want to make it a better, and even more fabulous club for 2015. Can you take about 5 minutes to fill out just 6 shrimpy questions before the upcoming Annual General Meeting? They may not sound like much, but we really do use the results of our survey to help guide and direct the club during our winter planning months. It’s totally anonymous, we promise!
