ALL THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

Sunday September 27: Levels 3 and 4 ride

It’s showing 21 and sunshiny for Sunday! A most excellent day for a ride. As usual, Levels 3 and 4 travel much of the same route, though different speeds. The Level 4 route has an extra 16k with a little more hilliness.

Reminder: All riders are expected to have the route map with them. The Level 3 group should remain together throughout the ride. Level 4 riders may ride faster and may break off into smaller groups according to desired speed.

Time: 10:00am
Start Location: Donegan Park
Route Map (Level 4) 52km: Printable route map here or Link to Ride with GPS
Route Map (Level 3) 36km: Printable route map here or Link to Ride with GPS

Please note: that this is the last of the regular Level 3 & 4 Sunday morning rides. Starting on October 1st we will be in off-season which means there will be no more evening rides, just morning ones. Rides that occur in off-season will usually be All Levels rides (at different speeds) on weekends if/when weather permits.

New NHCC website feature: Classified Ads!

It’s the time of year when people are looking to sell, buy, or trade their bikes and other cycling related things. To help facilitate this, on a trial basis we’ve installed a new website feature which you can find in our navigation bar on the website, called Classifieds. There, you can post your classified ad, or just browse what’s there for free. Give it a try! At the moment there’s just one lonely little ad, but hopefully soon there will be more as word spreads.

Tuesday September 22: Level 2 ride at 6:00

Beautiful day for a ride! This evening’s ride is likely one of the precious few remaining before our evening rides stop at the end of September.

Start time: 6:00
Ride leader: Geoffrey Honey
Start location: Cobourg Memorial Arena, on Furnace St.

Wednesday September 23: ALL LEVELS Ride, Beer and Brouhaha

Don’t put away those bikes! We keep riding as long as the weather cooperates. This Wednesday we’ll do the ever-popular All Levels ride, where we meet at The Mill then head out for a 30 minute ride, turn around and come back. It doesn’t matter how fast, or how slow you wish to ride, because we all return to The Mill at the same time. Then, of course we’ll head indoors for some beer, wings, or whatever your little heart desires. (So don’t forget to arm yourself with a few bucks). If friends or family wish to join the social part of the evening, they are most welcome.

Start time (Ride): 6:00pm
Start time (Social): 7:00pm
Start location: The Mill Restaurant, Cobourg (downstairs in the pub area)
Route: to be announced
Ride Leaders: determined on Wednesday at ride start

Important: Let us know you plan to come so we can make a reservation for everyone at The Mill (downstairs)

Monday September 21: Level 1 ride, 6:00pm

We’re making the most of the weather while it lasts! Tomorrow should be pretty much the same as today, so plan on a cool ride in the evening and make sure your bike is equipped with lights.
Start time: 6:00pm
Ride Leader: Dennis Benson
Start location: The parking lot behind the Dutch Oven

Sunday Sept. 20: Ride, 3 distances to choose from, Levels 2-4

The sun should be shining and the weather (at the moment) is forecasting 20C, so it’s looking like a fine day to ride. There are three distances to choose from, making this a ride with options for almost everyone. The fall colors are just getting started, so it should be nice out there! Note that Sunday rides don’t have an assigned ride leader and the group generally breaks off into smaller groups of similar speeds so it’s essential that everyone has a map with them. What would be realllllllly nice would be if you’d leave a comment letting others know that you plan to ride, and which distance you are interested in. Really! It encourages others to come on out and ride, knowing someone else will be riding along with them.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The Arena on Furnace St. in Cobourg
Level of difficulty: Level 2+, 3, and 4
Route Maps:
36km printable route map here, or link to Ride with GPS

Pick your route, and be sure to have a map with you.
