NHCC Rides for the Week of April 4

Posted on April 3, 2021April 3, 2021 | 3 Comments

The NHCC recognizes that for some there is immense value in having an outdoor activity to pursue so we are offering 3 rides this week. This week's rides will be capped with a limit of 5 participants each (including the Ride Planner) in keeping with COVID restrictions. RSVPs are required for all rides (see instructions below).

The safest way to ride your bike of course is still to ride solo, or with members of your immediate household. We are also conscious that not everyone will be comfortable riding with others at this time due to a wide range of reasons and we respect that. Be safe everyone!
