Hello All,
I’ve been asked about subscribing to the website so I thought I’d provide a little clarification. If you haven’t been receiving emails about new rides, chances are you’ve not subscribed in the right place.

There are two different types of subscription.

1. Subscribe to Comments To receive notification of all new follow-up comments people make to the Post that you are reading. This is activated by selecting “Notify me of follow-up comments by email” at the bottom of all the comments This notifies you only of new comments, and will not notify you of new posts (i.e. new rides that are posted)
2. Subscribe to the Blog To receive notifications of new Posts by email. By signing up, you will have an email delivered right to your inbox whenever a new ride is posted. You won’t receive notification of comments made to the Post unless you choose that option too.

It’s almost the end of the “good weather” riding season. After a hugely successful season, it seems only fitting that we celebrate by treating ourselves to the fabulous brunch served at the Best Western after our ride.

The price for brunch is:
$15.95 (+tax)
$12.95 (if you cut out and take with you the coupon that appears in Friday editions of the Northumberland News)
(With groups over 8 people they add the gratuity to the bill).

A reservation has been made already for between 15 and 20 people. We’ll finalize that as the day approaches.

If the weather turns out to be really unpleasant we will re-schedule as the day approaches.

Everyone is welcome regardless of whether or not you choose to ride beforehand. Bring your partners etc. if you wish, they are also most welcome. We simply need to know how many to expect so that the reservation can be confirmed a little in advance. Please just make a note below if you are planning to attend the brunch. Heck, it’ll be fun and we can eats LOTS! Their brunch is awesome. (everything from Chinese to roast beef to belgian waffles)
Hope everyone can make it!

NOTE: THE RIDE STARTS AND ENDS AT THE YMCA, NOT AT THE MILL RESTAURANT AS THE MAP INDICATES

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: YMCA (not at The Mill, as the map indicates)

This Tuesday there will be a ride starting from Donegan Park. If you’d like to attend, there have been about 4 people so far that have suggested they’d like to ride. Please mention below if you think you might ride on Tuesday.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: Donegan Park
Route: Paul has kindly offered to lead the way

Have fun, everyone!

So, people are talking about a route that would provide an opportunity for people to join us who may be interested in some shorter distances, yet also allow for those who want to go longer to be able to. I’ll leave it open for discussion, perhaps somebody will take the lead here and do the planning (Jamie…….want to do some planning?) If anyone wants to volunteer to lead the way or has a route map they’d like me to post, please email me and I’ll be sure to post it before Sunday. Email Anita: click here.

Start time: 10:00

Start location: Donegan Park

There has been some interest in riding this route on Sunday morning, so let’s see how many riders we can get out. Although the route indicates a start and finish at the Marina, as usual we will start at Donegan Park instead. Hopefully there will be a few new faces after the Bike-for-the-Planet event.

Here is the route map. Please take a moment to print it out for yourselves and bring it with you.

Respond below please, to let people know that you are coming!

Perhaps being labour day weekend and school starts up on Tuesday, we might round up a number of people interested in doing the Turkey Ride. With the warm weather starting to give way to cooler weather it’s unclear how many good Sundays we may have left! Although the map directions show the ride starting at the Marina, we will start at Donegan Park because of the parking availability.

Here is the route map. Please take a moment to print it out for yourselves and bring it with you.
