Anyone up for some cycling trips?

Anyone up for some cycling trips? I am not calling this a bike group or anything like that. I find when you create organized groups it ends up being a whole bunch of issues no one wants to deal with. I just want to cycle and if anyone comes along that would be great.

Ideas for bicycling:

I want to do a run that goes out to the Grand bay area and the Kingston Peninsula. We would start in the downtown area of Saint John (or we could meet somewhere else if need be). We could go up though the Harbor Passage, to Simms corner and through Manawaganish Road. Then we could take a small part of the highway to Grand Bay, then take the Ferry over to the Kingston Peninsula and bike over to the Milligeville ferry and then proceed through Rockwood Park and back home. We could also do it in reverse direction.
Please note this route has a lot of hills and some challenging terrain. This is not for the novice cyclist.

I also want to do smaller runs to Rockwood Park, Irving Nature Park, and Quispamsis. Not everyone can do long trips, but these are small day trips.

So, by all means, if you’re interested let me know. You can email me at admin@nexplanrecycling.com

I cycled out to Grand Bay the first time this year, and what a fantastic run it was. I went the highway out and the old way back. It was a good workout after a long winter, took about 2 hours. The hills were great way to get the old heart pumping. Sure going down them is fun, but cycling up them was the most challenging and rewarding part. It would be nice to have some others with me who could keep up.

Anyone for Rockwood Park? I did a great bike ride last weekend and this would be a good starter and one to get in shape on for the bigger ones. I left from uptown Saint John, and then Harbor Passage, and up through to Rockwood Park. It was great as the hills are not that bad and you still get a good work out. This would be a great run to get your self in shape on. If you cannot do that or handle the intensity there is not sense in doing longer runs. I do these little runs through the evenings sometimes as well.

    Recycling & Renewable Energy

    Nexplan Recycling is focused on alternatives. Quite simply, we can't continue on the same course we have been on. We need to change our habits now. Alternatives for gasoline such as ethanol or hydogen need to be implemented along with hybrid cars. Solar energy can be used for heating/cooling, electricity production, and chemical processes. Tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. These are just a few of the energy sources that are being developed. Nexplan Recycling's aim is to provide information along with discussions on renewable energy and the effects on our environment and economy
