NHCC Midland-Penetanguishene Cycling Tour – September 15–18, 2025

Club member Miche, is planning an exciting four-day weekday cycling tour in September to explore three scenic trail systems in the Midland and Penetanguishene area! This tour offers something for everyone, with rides tailored to different skill levels—provided we have enough participants in each group (2 people per Level minimum).

Tour Base:
The event will be based at the Quality Inn in Midland, though participants are welcome to arrange their own accommodations. Level 4 rides will depart directly from the Inn, while other levels may need to drive to nearby starting points to avoid traffic and longer distances.
