This coming Wednesday morning the NHCC will participate in a special event announcement regarding Northumberland County’s Cycling Master Plan following which our Club will then ride one of the County’s five official cycling routes, the Glorious Ganaraska Cycling Trail described as a “relatively level 30km route that guides you through farm fields, along the banks of the Ganaraksa River and past heritage buildings”. There will be some pre-ride announcements by local government and economic development officials at the county building in Cobourg and then the Club will ride to Port Hope to ride the official route.
We’d love to have as many available Club members out for this event as there will be media coverage (wearing your NHCC jersey if you have one would be great!). By starting in Cobourg we’ll be adding distance to the route for a total of 47km.
Ride Coordinator: Anita Macklin
Start time: 8:30am
Route Map: Printable Glorious Ganaraska Route Map
Start location: 555 Courthouse Rd. Cobourg
You know that I will be there. My plan was to follow Cty Rd 2 to Theatre Rd, take Telephone over to Hamilton, and Hamilton to Dale before picking up the route proper at Sylvan Glen. That section of Dale is usually not too busy. I realize that is not the only option.
Then Cobourg riders can just follow Cty Rd 2 back from Port Hope at the end.
I plan to ride
Anita, I plan on being there. Good to get a Wednesday ride in as I cannot make the evening all comers event. Allan
Anita, I’ll be at the start location at 8:30.
