Cap off the Labour Day long weekend by joining us on a fun and challenging NHCC route.

We wont’t lie, there are a couple uphills but these will be balanced off by just as many fun descents.

The earlier start time (4:00) will give us plenty of time to complete the route before darkness and the expected drizzle in the evening.

That said, there will be plenty of rest stops to catch your breath and enjoy the scenery.  As always on Monday nights 2/3  no one will be dropped.

There will also be a couple turns that allow the  route to be cut shorter should anyone wish or need to head back into town earlier.

Lets have fun!!

Starting Point: Arena on Furnace Street

Time: 4:00 pm

Leader: Roberto/Allan

Route: To County Road 9 and Back

It’s your opportunity to help direct the NHCC! At this year’s AGM we’ll be seeking to fill three vacancies in the Board of Directors. Both Debbie Parks and Maria Siemiaszko will be eligible for re-election into two of the three vacancies, but after 6 years, Anita Macklin’s final term is set to expire in October, creating one new vacancy. Want to work alongside a great bunch of individuals whose primary goal is to make the NHCC as awesome as it can be? Enthusiasm makes you eligible!

Our annual social event of the year, the Annual Meeting & Social Soiree is set to take place on Thursday October 19th, 6:00pm at The Best Western in Cobourg.

There will be a great buffet dinner and we’ll take the evening to celebrate cycling with friends both new and old, as well as discuss new directions for next year. Of course we conduct a little official but necessary biz. In the meantime, mark your calendars and pickup your tickets!

How to get tickets:

Downtown Cobourg:

Where: 261 George St., Cobourg
When: Monday – Thursday, 9:00–noon

From your Ride Coordinators (or designated ride leader): starting Monday September 1st.

Ride coordinators are: Maria Siemiaszko, Geoffrey Honey, Roberto Almeida, Mike McLellan, Anita Macklin

Evenings are getting shorter (and colder!). But we can still squeeze in a 49km ride (or decide in Harwood to make it 36km if you wish). The sun sets at 7:48pm meaning we will need lights on our bikes. Since Kennedy Rd. is all under construction, this is a modified route of one of our favourites:

Albert’s Alley, Jibb, Bethel Grove up to Morton, then north toward Rice Lake where we’ll cover Lander Rd. and make our way to Gore’s Landing then along Rice Lake Scenic Dr. You can knock 13 km off the route by turning south again in Harwood making it a 36k ride, or do the full 49km by continuing long the shoreline and turning south at Lilac Valley Rd. instead.

Start time: 6:00pm
Ride Leader: Anita Macklin
Start location: Hamilton Township Offices parking lot (Burnham and Majestic Hills Rd.)
Route Map: Link to route on Ride with GPS

We will head west on Highway #2 to Theater Hill, north to Dale, north on McCelland, west on Bethel Grove/Concession Rd 5, South on Barrie Rd. to Sylvan Rd./Cranberry Rd. and Highway 2 home.
Once we get to the top of “Baby Bickle” it is all down hill to Cobourg

Ride Leader: Mike
Ride Start: 6 pm

We’re going to stay in town and try to find a few roads that we don’t visit very often! It gets dark early these days so please have lights on your bike. A white light on the front, and red at the back as required by law.

Time: 6:00
Meeting Location: parking lot behind the Dutch Oven
Ride Leader: Maria Siemiaszko
