First, a big thank-you to all the club volunteers. Behind the scenes they are working hard in preparation for the upcoming riding season. Work is progressing to ensure a safe and enjoyable season for everyone.
As previously communicated, a modest adjustment has been made to membership fees, that will help the club maintain its programs and continue supporting member activities. The membership fees (new and renewal) will be: Individual $50, Family $80, Student $30, and 30-Day-Trial $15.
Finally, we are beginning the search for a Member Experience director to fill this vacant position and a Co-Technical Director to start the transition in the latter role. More details below.
I look forward to seeing you all on the road soon.

TBN had a great weekend at the Toronto Bike Show. We welcomed several new members to the club and sent home lots of TBN-branded items. TBN offers more rides, more friends, more fun, and at only $50 per year, why not join us even if you already ride with another club? Spread the word or pass the Chain of Events on to your friends! |

We could not be more excited to see the end of this winter and the start of more outdoor cycling. This season TBN will continue to offer something for everyone, at all ride levels. Check the TBN calendar regularly to see what's coming up. The buttons below will take you to more info about some of our regular programs.

The Cyclon committee is putting the finishing touches on plans for TBN's biggest event being held at Brock University this summer. We can't wait to explore the Niagara region with hundreds of our cycling friends! There is nothing like the magic that happens when so many cycling enthusiasts get together for a weekend of more rides, more friends, and more fun.
Brock has a "no e-bikes in buildings" policy and the committee has ideas to address this. If you are an e-biker and plan to attend Cyclon contact cyclon@tbn.ca and cyclon-co-chair@tbn early to help gauge how many e-bikes to expect. The St. Catharines/Niagara region is considerably flatter than the Peterborough area so e-bikes may not be as necessary for some. |
