THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

Wednesday July 16th: ALL LEVELS Ride, Wings, Beer & Jerseys!

It’s an ALL LEVELS ride night! That means one route that everyone rides, but at their respective paces, Levels 1-4.

The route is what we call a 1.5 hour out and back–You ride out for 45 minutes with your group and then turn around and come back. Everyone finishes at the same time. But on an All Levels night we encourage those who want to progress to the next level of difficulty to try it out. For instance, if you are Level 2 but want to try Level 3 you head out with the Level 3 group. If you find you just can’t keep up the pace and you want to drop back to level 2 it’s okay…they’ll be coming up behind you along the route and you just re-join if you wish.

And then, when it’s all done anyone who wishes can head into The Mill afterward and order up some wings, beer, and partake in some yakkity yak with other NHCC’ers and talk about how moving up a level was awesome!!

Club Jerseys: We will not have a Fit Kit for trying on, however we will be taking jersey orders at The Mill after 8:00pm. Short sleeve only. $68 including all taxes. Hopefully for September delivery.
