Official NHCC cycling season starts May 6th
Dust off the bike, pump up the tires! Our official riding season begins on Monday May 6th. This year we have made a few changes to our structure that should clearly define what to expect on our rides as far as speed and skill. We’ve broken it down into 4 different ride levels, which can be reviewed on our website. Read about the NHCC ride levels here.
In general, the rides are as follows:
Monday Evenings: Level 1
Wednesday Evenings: Level 2
Thursday & Sunday Mornings: Levels 3 and 4
*Port Hope rides are held on Tuesday evenings and the level of difficulty will vary according to group needs.
T-Shirts and Club Jerseys:
New for 2013: Take a look at our new NHCC T-shirts that will be available for purchase for approximately $15 (to be confirmed). We hope to have them available for our first club ride. They’re ideal for those evening rides where you can be spandex-free, and still look like and NHCC-er.
Jerseys on the other hand, need to be pre-ordered and pre-paid and sell for $65. We’ll take orders for jerseys up until June 1st when we’ll place the order with Louis Garneau (6 week delivery)
