This route starts and finishes at the park on Carlisle just like last week. Again, be sure to have appropriate lights on the fronts and backs of your bikes since it’s getting a little darker at the end of the rides now.

There have been some fairly long distance rides lately, so we’ll make this one a little shorter and hopefully a little easier for some. It’s about 67 km if you start and finish at Donegan Park, and only 41km if you start at the corner of Cornish Hollow and Dale Rd. It’s a familiar route for most of us, but it is a nice one. If you are starting at Dale Rd. for the 41km route, get there a little early and plan to be ready to roll, (right beside the cemetery), when the 67k group rolls on through.

Start time & location:
9:00am (Donegan Park)
9:20 (Corner of Cornish Hollow and Dale Rd. by the cemetery)

The Port Hope ride is still on! Usually the Port Hope group does about 25km or so, and you can make it longer by starting in Cobourg but you definitely need to have your lights on your bike if you do so.  No report of the Evil Bird, so you’re pretty safe to ride…..

If you wish to ride over there from Cobourg, meet at Canadian Tire at 6:00.

Start time: 6:30 pm (6:00 from Canadian Tire Cobourg)
Start location: Port Hope Town Hall
Ride leader: George or Pam (To be determined)

The days are becoming shorter which is a sure sign that summer is passing by.  Just in case you are wondering, the evening rides continue until daylight savings time ends. We move the start time a little earlier every couple of weeks to allow a suitable amount of time for a ride.

This ride is 80km and will take you into three different townships. There are new roads that the NHCC hasn’t taken before, so this should be a great ride. If you are interested in making the route a little shorter, please use the commenting section below and perhaps Jamie could offer some suggestions. A big thanks to Jamie for developing this route!

If you haven’t come out for the Port Hope ride, why not give it a try? You get to see evil red-winged blackbirds, lots of the Lakeshore, and a few hills (sometimes) and it’s just an overall a good time. (If you don’t know about the evil bird, we’re not telling you….you gotta ride to find out)  🙂

This route starts and finishes at the park on Carlisle and takes in a little of town and little of the country side. By starting at 6:30 there should be time to complete the distance. Be sure to bring your headlights for the fronts of your bikes and flashing red ones for the backs. As the days get shorter, these are essential items to have on your bikes in the evening.

You coming out?

As usual it will be an EASY ride, with speeds appropriate for the newest riders. If you did the Presqu’ile 100 then some easy riding on Monday will be in order, and will serve your body well!
