We will start this ride from the parking lot at The Mill (despite the fact the map shows it starting at Precious Corners). This will add 8km to the total distance for a total of 50k. Yeah yeah, of course the weather man says there’s a 30% chance of rain…but it also means a 70% likelihood that it won’t, and those are pretty good odds, don’t you think?

The days are shorter and evening rides are definitely cooler which might explain the frozen fingers on the Monday evening ride. :0 Moral of the story: dress warmly! Evening rides are going to start at 6:00 now. Make sure you have lights on your bikes both front and back. And wear layers! (Or have a hot tub on standby)

Start time: 6:00pm
Start location: Port Hope Town Hall
Ride leader: Pam Tate

Not bad, weather wise. Daylight however is shrinking in quantity, thus necessitating the use of lights on both the fronts and backs of our bikes. We’ll just go out for a one hour cruise around town, riding at a nice leisurely pace and enjoying the crisp fall weather.

Start time: 6:30pm
Start location: The Park on Carlisle St. between Westwood and Ewing
Ride leader: Anita Macklin
Lights required at: 6:50pm (Sunset is 7:20)

Come on out! You never know how many more evening rides we will get in before the time changes and our evening rides end for the year. Officially the evening rides will continue until the end of October (weather permitting). The start times however will become earlier as we progress toward that.

There are three distances to choose from so there’s a distance option for everyone. The 36 km route is fairly easy-ish so should be manageable for Level 2 riders who want to give it a try going a bit further than usual. The other distances….well, of course you know there will be a hill or two.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The Arena on Furnace St. in Cobourg

It’s going to be reeaaaaallly warm tomorrow!  But also rainy. With any luck we will still get the evening ride in. Pam’s going to lead the Port Hope folks out for a tour around town and it’s surrounding area. Thanks, Pam! Make sure you all have lights on your bikes, both front and back. The days are getting shorter fast, by about 2 minutes every day!

The weather looks promising! These rides are great opportunities for meeting other club members, socializing while riding, and seeing the scenery around town. All levels are encouraged to come out and go for this nice easy one-hour ride. It’ll do your legs good to ride along at a not-so-speedy pace for a change. Lights will be required on your bike at 7:03 (sunset is at 7:33pm) so please ensure you are equipped.

Now that school’s back in and the mornings are cooler, we return to our 10:00am morning start time.

Despite the indicated start location on the map, we are actually starting at the Park on Carlisle and riding over to Port Hope, adding about 22km total to each of the routes.  If you are planning to ride, do we have anyone who wants to be a ride leader?

Now that September is here the NHCC is reverting back to it’s original morning start time of 10:00am. Also, there won’t be an evening ride option on Thursdays as the days are just a little too short now.

The route maps show us starting at Gilmer’s in Port Hope, but we are going to start at the Park on Carlisle at 10:00 instead and bike on over to Port Hope to start the “official” route. This will add about 22km total to each of the routes making the short one 50k and the long route 80k.
