Rides for the week of: Monday May 30th-Sunday June 5th
We are switching things up a little this week. The Thursday ride is taking place out of town (near Trenton) for all levels, going on the Lock & Rock & Roll route. It’s a beauty route that will take you along totally off-road paths and you’ll see the Bleasdale Boulder and a number of Locks on the Trent-Severn. Also, we’re hoping for some nice weather this weekend because Saturday we are having an All-Levels Ride & Social event (BYOB and a lawn chair), and Sunday is the “Bike for the Planet” event that we are hoping NHCCers will come out and support—It’s free. No fee, no fundraising!
