THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

NHCC rides for August 3rd to August 9th

Okay….so here’s the deal—Despite a survey that indicated a slight preference for an earlier morning time start, we’re going to switch it back to 10:00am and see if that works out better.

By the way, in case you missed the info, next weekend is our second NHCC Cycle Tour to Presqu’ile Park. This one’s just a single overnighter where we bike to Presqu’ile, camp out and then return the next day. We’ll have a support vehicle to take along your gear, so no worries there. We had a blast on the last tour! There are still a few spots available so please fire us off a quick email if you want to participate.
