Message from Sue Throop regarding the Trailblazer Tandem Cycling Club:
Dear NHCC members
On Saturday August 22, my friend Warren & I, along with Cycle Transitions, will be co-hosting a ride for the Trailblazer Tandem Cycling Club.
The TTCC is a tandem bike club where a sighted Captain pilots the tandem bike (provided) with a blind or sight impaired rider on the back. The TTCC is asking if any CT members would be interested in being a Captain for the Cobourg ride. It involves a brief orientation featuring procedure and etiquette on guiding the blind and the operation of a tandem with a blind / sight impaired “Stoker”. We are planning a waterfront route of approx. 50 km. The orientation would start at 9:15 a.m. and the ride would launch at 10:00 a.m. The ride will also feature a BBQ lunch ($10.00 per person).
At this point we are inviting CT & NHCC members only as there is a limit to tandem bikes available & there will probably be some of the Captains from the club that may want to join us.
With that being said, anyone who would like to join in the ride on their own bikes are more than welcome to do so.
If you’re interested please respond to me with your name, height & weight…these are important for matching individuals, from there depending on how many interested, things will be organized on matching captains to a potential Stoker.
If you’re interested & already have a tandem bike, even better!

I can’t commit for sure because of possible family activities but I would like to offer my services as a captain if I have the 22nd free. I should be able to confirm within a week or two.
