Just 7 Days to Go: The NHCC Canada Day All-Levels Ride & Super Big Potluck!
There’s no better way to celebrate Canada Day than with good people, open roads, and great food. With a renewed sense of Canadian pride in the air this year, we’re especially excited to come together as a club and mark the day with one of our favourite traditions: the Canada Day All Levels Ride & Super Big Potluck!
Date: Tuesday, July 1, 2025
Time:
Ride starts at 10:00am (Out-and-back format—45 minutes each way)
Potluck begins around 11:45am
Start Location (All Levels 1–4): 8303 Smylie Rd., Cobourg
RSVP: Let us know you’re coming via the Events Calendar in your Cycle Club account
We’ll be all wrapped up by 1:00 so you can continue onto other Canada Day celebrations you have planned. Or, you can stay and linger with friends as long as you like!
Celebrate Canada—On Two Wheels
We’ll kick off the day with an easy-paced, All-Levels ride—designed for everyone, from Level 1 to Level 4. This is about fresh air, friendly faces, and the shared joy of cycling. It’s a perfect chance to appreciate the natural beauty we’re lucky to have right here in Canada!
The Great Canadian Potluck
After the ride, we gather at Randy and Anita’s for our famous Super Big Potluck. In true Canadian fashion, we’re keeping it welcoming, casual, and joyfully unpredictable. Bring along your favourite dish to share—salads, butter tarts, maple-glazed anything, poutine-inspired snacks, or just your go-to homemade classic. If we end up with more dessert than dinner, we’ll consider it a win.
Please also bring a lawn chair and your favourite drink so you can kick back, relax, and take in the summer vibe with great company.
The really-horrible-weather Plan B: We aim to celebrate on July 1st, but if the forecast looks amazingly better earlier in the week, we’ll move the event to Monday, June 30. Stay tuned to the club calendar for updates.
Family, Friends & Non-Riders Welcome
Not everyone has to ride—friends and family are warmly invited to join us just for the gathering. There’s plenty of shade in the yard for relaxing conversation and some laid-back Canadiana spirit.
Whether you’re a seasoned rider or still dusting off your bike this year, come on out! This event is all about connection—across levels, and across our shared love of cycling in this great country of Canada that we call home.
Come ride, eat, and celebrate Canada Day—the way Canadians do best: together.
