We would start off from the harbour at the end of Ontario St. in Brighton and ride through the Park for the level one’s. (16 km) .

How to RSVP—Okay folks, this is important! Ride Planners need to know how many to anticipate so that they can arrange additional ride leaders if needed. Also, just as importantly, other club members like to hear about others who will be riding so they know they won’t be alone! Please leave a comment right here on the website, to let others know that you plan to ride and which ride you want to participate in!
Find all the Week’s rides and the details: Rides get posted on the Club’s Ride Calendar first. After that, we post a message on the website announcing those rides. The Club Ride Calendar can always be found on the NHCC website!
