The 2025 Riding Season Begins Sunday (April 27th)

We’re excited to kick off our 2025 Regular Season of rides! And by “Regular,” we mean these weekly, recurring group rides that you can count on:

Tuesday Evenings: Levels 2, 3, 4
Wednesday Mornings: Level 1
Thursday Mornings: Levels 2 & 3
Thursday Evenings: Level 4
Sunday Mornings: All Levels (1, 2, 3, 4)

All rides are listed on our Cycle Club Events Calendar, where members can view details and RSVP. Occasionally, you’ll also see special rides posted on the Ride Calendar that go beyond our regular schedule—so keep an eye out!

Don’t Miss a Ride—Set Up Your Cycle Club Account
Your Cycle Club account is your ride hub! It’s where you’ll find:

  • Route maps
  • Ride participant lists
  • Notifications about cancellations or schedule changes
  • And much more!

If you haven’t set up your account yet, start here: Cycle Club Account Setup 

Ride Cancellations
Safety first! Rides may be cancelled due to poor weather—like rain, high winds, or uncomfortably cold conditions. Cancellations are usually made by the Ride Leader, so it’s possible one Level might cancel while others still roll out. Notifications will appear in your Cycle Club account.

Ride Start Times
Morning rides usually begin at 10:00 am (sometimes 9am for Level 4)
Evening rides typically start at 6:00 pm (6:15 for Level 4)

That said, start times may shift depending on the weather (like earlier mornings in summer to beat the heat). Always double-check your Cycle Club Events Calendar for the most up-to-date times and locations.

Planning Ahead
All Regular Season rides are posted in advance so you can plan your calendar! However, flexibility is key—ride details may occasionally change based on group needs or Ride Leader availability.

Got Questions?
For the first two Sundays of the season, all rides start at the same location. After that, start points will vary depending on the ride Level.
If you have questions, come a bit early on Sundays—some of our more seasoned riders will be happy to chat and help you out.

FAQs

Why do I need a Cycle Club account? 
It lets you RSVP, see who else is riding, and keeps Ride Leaders informed (including access to your emergency contact info if needed).

Where do rides start? 
Start points vary based on Ride Leaders. Be sure to check your Events Calendar. Some times may shift in extreme heat or shorter daylight seasons.

Can I ask questions before a ride? 
Absolutely. Use the Discussion feature linked to each ride in your Cycle Club account—Ride Leaders or fellow members will chime in.

What about Guests? 
We welcome guest riders! Guests just need to sign a waiver (available on the NHCC website) and hand it to the Ride Leader. Guests can join us for up to 3 rides before needing a full membership.

What’s the deal with Ride Levels and Leaders? 
Levels 1–3: No Drop Rides—with a Leader and a Sweep (no one gets left behind!)
Level 4: Regroup style—riders meet up at pre-set locations during the ride.
Ride Leaders set the tone, support the group, and help keep things safe and smooth.

Which Level should I choose? 
When in doubt, start easy! You can always move up a level as you go. Feel free to switch between Levels depending on how you’re feeling.

See you on the road soon! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️
Let’s ride!
