Membership Night for the NHCC just two days away!
Just a reminder that it’s time to think about bicycles, fitness, friends, and sunshine and that means NHCC Membership Night — just two nights away! It’s for members, future members and just plain curious folks looking to get motivated into some cycling. Come out and see what the NHCC is all about and what you might expect from joining the cycling club this year. We’ll have memberships, jerseys and club information on-hand. Meet ride leaders and ask questions! You’ll find that we are a very inclusive cycling club with rides for all levels of ability.
Cycle Transitions will also be on-site so you’ll have a convenient opportunity to pick up a CT membership, $30 for the whole year. For those who don’t know already, Cycle Transitions is a do-it-yourself community bicycle shop where you can work on your own bike, use their tools, and seek the guidance of mechanics on-site. So, you don’t need all sorts of bicycle know-how, just initiative to want to do it yourself!
