Gear Swap (Cycling and Skiing), Night Hikes and Biking
The weather has turned cool and many rides have winded down but we still have an active off-season calendar. There are evening Hikes (Tuesdays) at 6:00pm, followed by some beer & wings social time. Indoor Rouvy rides are taking place on Thursday evenings—a great way to cycle in far-away places from the comfort of your home for those who are smart trainer equipped. Mountain/Gravel bike have been rolling on Saturday mornings, and Level 4s are still riding on Sunday mornings. It’s all on your Cycle Club Events Calendar (Members).
The Gear Sale/Swap—for Cycling AND Cross-country Skiing!
The AGM is coming up on Thursday November 21st, along with our Gear Sale/Swap—we are inviting members to round up bicycles, cross-country skis, and any related gear. It’s an open opportunity to sell or trade your equipment, no fees. You set your price, then collect & keep all proceeds. You may have items you are happy to give away—and that’s welcome too! Note: If you plan to bring a bicycle, please let us know so we can provide stands. (Secretary@northumberlandhillscyclingclub.com)

NEW—NHCC Bike & Gear Swap!
Looking to sell, buy or trade a bike? Got some surplus cycling gear that you could sell/trade? Let’s make our first ever Bike & Gear Swap a success. It’s simple—just bring your cycling related gear to the AGM where we will provide table space, or floor space/bike for bicycles that members can browse and potentially buy/trade! Make sure your items have a tag or label identifying it’s yours so that people know who to pay. Including your price is helpful! Tables will be set up for placement of items and all sales & payments are handled between individuals directly, so bring a little cash or be prepared to e-transfer should you find something you want! Big or small, it doesn’t matter—bikes, cycling wear, tubes, tires, you name it!
