NHCC Events for the week of: Monday September 2 to Sunday Sept. 8
The 2nd Annual Really Big Potluck was a Really Big Success!
September is upon us, and that means the return of some occasional Mountain Biking in addition to our regular rides. On Thursday the Level 2s are heading up to Castleton and will be seeking out ice-cream along the way while the 3s are taking the Shelter Valley to Little Lake Loop. This Sunday the Level 4s are doing their monthly Century Ride with a 100 or 160km option, the Level 1s are heading up to Lakefield for ice cream along the Rotary Greenway Trail in Peterborough.
Saturday is the return of Mountain Biking—Helmut will be taking people on an adventure, either on trails or fire roads at the Woodland Trailhead in practice for a planned future ride to Warkworth using forestry and back roads. Get your forest legs on, and have fun!
Note: Evening rides are now starting as early as 5:30, so please watch start times on the Events calendar carefully.
