THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

NHCC Midland-Penetanguishene Cycling Tour – September 15–18, 2025

Club member Miche, is planning an exciting four-day weekday cycling tour in September to explore three scenic trail systems in the Midland and Penetanguishene area! This tour offers something for everyone, with rides tailored to different skill levels—provided we have enough participants in each group (2 people per Level minimum).

Tour Base:
The event will be based at the Quality Inn in Midland, though participants are welcome to arrange their own accommodations. Level 4 rides will depart directly from the Inn, while other levels may need to drive to nearby starting points to avoid traffic and longer distances.

Tour Itinerary:

Monday, September 15 – Arrival and Warm-Up Ride

  • Arrive in Midland in the morning
  • Group ride begins at 1:30 p.m.
  • Explore a picturesque trail from Penetanguishene that follows the river’s edge, featuring rolling terrain and scenic views.
  • Ride the Mid-Penn Link – a beautifully paved path through wooded areas.

Tuesday, September 16 – Waubaushene & Tay Shore Trail

  • A longer day in the saddle.
  • Level 4: A 120 km loop through Waubaushene, Wasaga Beach, and back via Penetanguishene.
  • Levels 1, 2, and 3: Enjoy the Tay Shore Trail with options to explore Port McNicoll and Victoria Harbour via out-and-back routes.

Wednesday, September 17 – Tiny Beaches & Awenda Park

  • Another adventurous day.
  • Level 4: A 119 km route through Balm Beach and Awenda Provincial Park.
  • Levels 1, 2, and 3: Ride along Tiny Beaches Road South towards Wasaga Beach (please note limited parking in the area).

Thursday, September 18 – Final Ride & Departure

  • A casual afternoon ride in Lagoon City, perfect for the journey home.

Additional Information:

  • RSVP by June 30 to Secretary@northumberlandhillscyclingclub.com with your name and riding level. This helps us plan for group sizes and logistics.
  • Non-riding partners and friends are welcome!
    Midland offers pleasant walking paths, the Martyrs’ Shrine, Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons historic site, and small-town shopping. Penetanguishene features a lovely waterfront park, and Wasaga Beach is a short drive away.

We’re looking forward to a great week of riding, exploring, and camaraderie. Don’t miss out!
