NHCC Activities for the week of: Monday August 5 to Sunday Aug. 11th
(2023) The Trestle Bridge on the rail trail ride from Jackson Park toward Omemee & beyond.
This week we are switching things up a bit: Level 2s are going on a 2+ ride on Thursday morning—meaning a little more distance, a little more adventure, but the pace will be easy, and there could be ice-cream involved! On Sunday the Level 1s, 2s and also the 4s will be riding the rail trail from Jackson Park in Peterborough (not the earlier 9am start time). There’s an historic trestle bridge at the 13km mark, and should anyone want to ride as far as Omemee there’s a vintage bicycle show to visit.
