Notice of change: Rides for Sunday May 29th
NOTICE OF RIDE CHANGE: Due to the fact that Peterborough is still in a state of emergency, it’s likely that the ride will be hindered by trees laying on the route still. For that reason, we are cancelling the Peterborough ride on Sunday and will plan it for a future weekend. In the meantime, these are our alternate rides for this Sunday:
SUNDAY May 29th: Morning Ride, 10am
Level 1 and 2:
Start location: Parking lot just West of the boat launch, bottom of Ontario St. in Brighton (see map on website). There are options for ice cream, baked goods or even a restaurant afterward for those who wish!
Level 3 and 4:
Start location: Ball’s Mill Conservation Area Parking Lot (Harwood)

Wednesday May 15th: Level 2 ride at 7:00pm
At the moment the forecast calls for rain. But we’re an optimistic bunch of folks who like to ride their bikes, so we’re going to do a little sun dance and hope that we can make the rain go away. Meet again at the industrial park (same place we started the first ride). This ride […]
Pre-announcement of the Century Ride (metric: 100km) next Sunday to Presqu’ile
Next weekend is the long weekend and that means Century Ride on Sunday! The NHCC has a century ride planned for every long weekend this season. The first one will be the easiest (code for “flat”) and the final one on labour day weekend will be the most difficult. For this first ride, we’ve extended […]
Tuesday Night Ride from Port Hope, (6:30pm)
It doesn’t matter what level you ride at, the Port Hope ride accommodates riders. Speed and distance will vary but will remain a No-Drop ride. (That means nobody is going to leave you behind in the dust) It’s all about being social, making new friends, and seeing some new scenery. If you’re biking over from […]
Monday May 13th: Easy Ride 7:00 (Start from behind the Dutch Oven)
The weather is supposed to be a little better on Monday (11°C), but hey, after today’s cold and wind we’ll take it. Meet in the parking lot behind the Dutch Oven. Bundle up! We recommend layering so that you can adjust as necessary. Front zippers are good to let heat in or out. Warm gloves […]
Sunday May 12th: Ride from Precious Corners 10:00am
The weather’s going to be a little cooler than it’s been (11°), but there may still be some who want to venture out this Sunday (Mother’s Day). We usually offer the same ride on Sunday so that those who can’t ride on weekdays won’t miss out. Therefore, here it is again! How Levels 3 and […]
Thursday May 10th: Ride from Precious Corners (42km or 54km) 10:00am
This ride will have a few hills and definitely some more distance. But there’s always a reward that goes along with that, and it’s the scenery. We’ll head up to Harwood where you can re-load your water bottles with great spring water, take in the view of Rice Lake, and then return. How Levels 3 […]
The Great NHCC Season Opener Ride & BBQ
Wow! What a great turnout, and a fabulous bunch of people on bikes. We counted about 38 smiling faces as we rolled down the road on the first of our Level 1 rides. A lot of new people came out which means it’s going to be a great season, getting to know everyone. And the […]
Change of time for the Port Hope ride
There’s a change of time for the Port Hope ride, in order to provide a little longer daylight riding. Start at 6:30pm Tuesday night. If you are biking over from Cobourg, leaving from Canadian Tire at 6:00pm
