THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

NHCC Activities for the week of: Monday July 1st to Sunday July 7

ICYMI: The 3rd Annual NHCC Canada Day Ride and Pancake Breakfast had almost 50 members turnout for the fantastic weather and yummy food. 

This week we are hoping for some stable weather for a change.  July now means there are many people away on vacay, and unfortunately we have no Level 1 ride leader for tonight. All the others are a go, as usual! Carefully note all start times—they may vary. This week the Level 2s are heading to the Millennium Trail in Prince Edward County for some fantastic off-road exploration on a great trail. On Sunday, Level 1s are going a little out of town to explore the Lang-Hastings Trail while Level 3s hang out on the Waterfront Trail in Newcastle, and Level 4s will be doing their monthly Century Ride with is actually 107km this time around.
