This week’s Hikes! Tuesday Afternoon and Thursday Evening
We have two different hikes this week, two totally different styles! On Tuesday afternoon (1pm) we meet at the Northumberland Forest for a forest experience and the Thursday evening (6:30pm) in the parking lot on Albert St (10 Albert St). we will start from downtown Cobourg for an urban hike—which often leads to a beverage at a local establishment afterward. Last week for instance, we discovered that the new brewery in Port Hope has great beer! You can find all the details and also RSVP on the Cycle Club app!
GUESTS are now welcome! All they need to do is bring along a signed 2021 Off-Season Waiver!
Please RSVP by either:
- Logging in to Cycle Club either on the web, or on your mobile device and go from there. If you aren’t setup yet, start here: Cycle Club website/app
- Leave a comment on the website to say you are coming!

Ride: Sunday Aug. 28th: Wicklow Beach and Back (9am)
Like Thursday’s ride, this ride is an “out and back” ride. Riders can turn around at any point to make the ride shorter than the planned 36km—or extend the ride to Colborne or beyond if you want more distance. We’ll trying something new—there won’t be a ride leader. Instead, riders should plan to break off […]

106km Labour Day Ride: Monday, Sept. 5th (Around Rice Lake)
Please note that this will be a 9:00am start. The route: 106km. (Okay, so it’s a little more than 100). It’s hilly in portions, and will certainly be a challenge. This is a ride for those of you who are looking for some serious distance. Lunch: Hastings is a halfway point, so we suggest stopping for lunch […]
Monday, August 22nd: Evening Novice Ride (7:00pm)
Last week was a washout, so let’s hope for better this Monday. The days are getting shorter, but there’s still plenty of opportunity to get some rides in. We’ll meet at The Mill restaurant parking lot and head out for a little country ride. A few hills, but nothing too crazy. We need a ride […]

Wednesday evening Advanced ride: Aug. 17th (6:00pm)
The days are getting shorter…..this ride will have to start at 6:00pm if we are to finish it before the sun sets. We’re going to ride like the wind up Bickle Hill, then over to do the Jamieson twins. Don’t you just love hills? You’ll hardly notice them, since it’s late in the season and we’re […]
