NHCC Activities for this week (October 30 to November 4): Biking, Hiking, and more Biking!

We just can’t hold Helmut back—he’s got three rides posted for the week. Two gravel rides and mountain biking on Saturday. Plus, on Tuesday night we have our Halloween Hike.  Wear a spooky costume if you wish and throw some treats in your pockets. We can hand goodies to kids when we see them.  We’ll stick to hiking on roads & sidewalks this week, no off-roading.  Wouldn’t want to miss the trick or treaters. Likely we’ll head into an establishment afterward for a drink of some sort.

Tuesday Evening Urban Hikes are starting!

Since evening rides have been squeezed out, we’ll start our Evening Hikes this coming Tuesday.  This is an opportunity to keep our legs moving, to explore Port Hope and Cobourg on two feet, and also get some social time in afterward (optional, of course).  We typically meet at 6:00 and go out for 1.5-2 hours of walking which usually translates into about 7-10km.  We’ll start out with shorter distances of course and build up as time goes by. 

We don’t just walk up and down the “regular” streets—oh no, no, no—at times we go off-road, down little alleyways, through hidden paths, maybe even along the beach.  Places you won’t find on your bike! So be sure to wear some comfy footwear, and layer for the weather. 

RSVP: As usual, let us know you are coming by RSVPing to the Cycle Club Events Calendar.

Guests are welcome provided they bring a signed waiver (no cost).
