NHCC Activities for the week of: Monday June 17 to Sunday June 23
The Level 3 riders having fun west of Port Hope near Newcastle.
It’s going to be a hot one this week—so, some of the rides that appeared on the Cycle Club Calendar may have been changed in order to account for heat and humidity, so please consult the calendar to make sure you have the most up to date information. The season is well underway now and evenings are long, so you may also notice some of the rides getting longer as we all get stronger. By Friday, those Level 3/4s that have mountain bikes may enjoy some evening coolness with our Friday Evening Mountain Biking—Helmut is taking the group on wide paths (not single track) and by the looks of pictures from last week there was lots of happy, but dirty faces. 🙂
Hey! Mark your calendars for July 2st. It will be an All Levels Canada Day Ride and Pancake Breakfast afterward. Details are on the Events Calendar in your cycle club account.
