Allan will lead the Monday Night Level 2/3 Ride this week. A new configuration he’s dreamed up and dubbed the Abend Abbattis.

I’m sure there’s a (military) story behind which he’ll share in one of his (lengthy) prologues or along the way. As always there will be breaks and no one will be dropped. Please bring your lights- they keep you safe and we’ve received positive feedback on them from pedestrians recently.

Start location: Wilmot Street
Time: 5:45 prompt
Route: “L2/3 APD – Abend Abbattis” Route map here
Description: Gentle climb up to Baltimore, continuing up Harwood Rd to Minifie Rd. West a bit and then a glorious down hill back to Dale Rd and home via Baltimore once again just in time “for tea and medals”!

Total distance 37 kms so we need to start prompt or even early. Bring your lights (and cash for your NHCC AGM tickets).

Since the evenings are getting shorter we’ll start at 5:30 so we can get some decent riding time in. I realize it’s tough for some people to get there so soon after work, but if you really would like to get a ride in, however short, please leave a comment saying so and we’ll loop back at 6:00 to pick you up.

Time: 5:30. EARLIER START TIME
Meeting Location: parking lot behind Dutch Oven
Ride Leader: Maria Siemiaszko

For those who weren’t able to join the Golden Beach joint club ride or anyone looking to get additional kilometres this weekend in preparation for next weekend’s 100km ride.  Please comment below if you are able to join.

This is a nice, longish route (approx.70km).  We have to take advantage of this amazing late Summer weather. Waterfront Trail all the way to Newcastle!  If you want to shorten the distance, just turn around at any point and come back because the route back is the same as the route there.  You can also start in Port Hope if you prefer a shorter distance (57km).  This makes it suitable for multiple levels.

Start time: 9:30am
Start location(s): Parkette on Carlisle St., Cobourg or King’s Field in Port Hope(10:15 am)
Level of difficulty: Level 3 and Level 4

An easy route, but for those who like a map here is one from Port Hope: 57k printable route map here or view it on Ride with GPS

Cycle Transitions got it’s start five years ago on September 8th, 2012. We’ve had a great run to this point and we’re looking forward to the next! To help celebrate, we’re inviting all past and present members as well as supporters to a “pub night” at the Cat and Fiddle (Covert Street, Cobourg) on Thursday, September 28th starting at 7 pm. Please join us, have a bite to eat and/or something to drink, and share your stories of CT.

** Please note, food and drink will be available and can be paid with CASH ONLY (no credit or debit cards are being accepted at the Cat and Fiddle presently)**

For those participating in the Level 4 ride that evening, drop in whenever you’re done riding as our rides will be finishing up pretty early by the end of the month anyway.

It’s an oldie but a goodie.   A lovely ride to Osaca and the fields will be beautiful this time of the year.   Lots of photo ops!  We would just have time to squeeze in the 36km route before dark, but there is also a short-cut option for just 27km.  This would even be suitable for a Level 2+ as it is relatively flat.  A good option after Wednesday evening’s Bickle Hill! Let’s try to get in as many precious evening rides as we can.  Lights and laughs are a must!

Depending on what everyone would like to do, there is a new establishment in Port Hope, but I’m not positive it is open quite yet (corner of Mill & Ontario St).  We can check it out afterwards if anyone is interested.

Start time: 6:00pm
Ride Leader:  Deb Parks

The Ganaraska Freewheelers are hosting a joint ride with the NHCC on Saturday September 16th starting at Golden Beach Resort in Harwood. There are choices to shorten the route to either 20, 30, 40km, by choosing interconnecting roads along the route, or doing the full 51km. The restaurant is open for lunch or snacks afterward if you wish to partake. All you’ll need to do is let the ride leader know at the beginning of the ride so that the restaurant staff can be informed as to numbers.
