Cycle Transitions got it’s start five years ago on September 8th, 2012. We’ve had a great run to this point and we’re looking forward to the next! To help celebrate, we’re inviting all past and present members as well as supporters to a “pub night” at the Cat and Fiddle (Covert Street, Cobourg) on Thursday, September 28th starting at 7 pm. Please join us, have a bite to eat and/or something to drink, and share your stories of CT.

** Please note, food and drink will be available and can be paid with CASH ONLY (no credit or debit cards are being accepted at the Cat and Fiddle presently)**

For those participating in the Level 4 ride that evening, drop in whenever you’re done riding as our rides will be finishing up pretty early by the end of the month anyway.

It’s an oldie but a goodie.   A lovely ride to Osaca and the fields will be beautiful this time of the year.   Lots of photo ops!  We would just have time to squeeze in the 36km route before dark, but there is also a short-cut option for just 27km.  This would even be suitable for a Level 2+ as it is relatively flat.  A good option after Wednesday evening’s Bickle Hill! Let’s try to get in as many precious evening rides as we can.  Lights and laughs are a must!

Depending on what everyone would like to do, there is a new establishment in Port Hope, but I’m not positive it is open quite yet (corner of Mill & Ontario St).  We can check it out afterwards if anyone is interested.

Start time: 6:00pm
Ride Leader:  Deb Parks

The Ganaraska Freewheelers are hosting a joint ride with the NHCC on Saturday September 16th starting at Golden Beach Resort in Harwood. There are choices to shorten the route to either 20, 30, 40km, by choosing interconnecting roads along the route, or doing the full 51km. The restaurant is open for lunch or snacks afterward if you wish to partake. All you’ll need to do is let the ride leader know at the beginning of the ride so that the restaurant staff can be informed as to numbers.

Ride Host: Ganaraska Freewheelers
Start time: 10am

Please leave a comment to let us here at the NHCC know that you plan to ride.

The Third Annual Home Hardware Bike Up Northumberland joint-event fundraiser ride will take place on Saturday, September 9th in support of Northumberland County’s two hospital foundations (Northumberland Hills Hospital and the Campbellford Memorial Hospital).

There will be 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100km distance options to choose from, all following the Waterfront Trail eastbound and starting at Donegan Park!

We have a good number of members representing the NHCC and it would be great if more could join us.  We will meet at Donegan Park.  If you can’t ride you can always support a rider, or volunteer.

It’s not too late. Registration is still open!! Click here to register.  Or you can register at the start of the event at the following times depending on your distance:

100K – 7:00 am, 50K – 9:00 am, 25K – 10:00 am, 10K – 10:30 am, 5K – 11:00 am

The forecast is iffy for Thursday so we will keep our eye on the weather.  This a redo of a great ride we did back in July, but with a twist…… This time we are going to do it BACKWARDS.  Will the hills be better or worse? You be the judge.  Either way it should be a great ride.

The days are quickly getting shorter by the minute (or two) so don’t forget your lights!

Starting point: Furnace Street Arena
Time: 6:00 pm
Leader: Chris Miller
Route: Northumberland Hill Loop Backwards

There’s some bad weather blowing in this evening so to be on the safe side the Level 1 ride this evening is cancelled. Hope to see everyone at Bike Up Northumberland this Saturday!
