Chair Ride and Ride Leader Development Committee

A Ride and Ride Leader Development Committee Meeting is being planned to set up training dates for the spring and to go over our current training methods and procedures and discuss any changes needed.  If you wish to be actively involved and part of this committee please contact Cindy Gorski at cgorski@embarqmailcom or call 717-960-9010.

The 6th annual Kings Gap TT was held on Sat. 9/3. We are happy to report that 42 riders came out and challenged the hill.  We conducted the raffle, thus giving away hundreds of dollars in gift certificates for use at local bike shops and a bike messenger bag worth $95. 

We received much-appreciated assistance from HBC volunteers - Bill Pickering , Bob Schmidlein, Terry Drachbar and Bill Slabonik. Also, thanks to this year’s photographers, Ray Stone and Mike Gavin. Special thanks goes out to Mark Riordan, for running the race itself and to former coordinator, Kelly Szymczyk, for guiding me through the process for my first year as coordinator. And, last but not least, thanks to my sweetie, Scott Sheaffer, for willingly jumping in and volunteering as well.  

Finally, we raised hundreds of dollars for the Friends of Kings Gap, which helps to preserve and maintain the beautiful treasure that is Kings Gap Park.  

Look for specific results and many more pics soon on the Kings Gap FB page! 

Thanks, again, to all who participated!

Members are encouraged to use their Biker Bucks as soon as possible because they expire on Dec. 31, 2016.  Biker Bucks can be used for membership, the HBC Banquet or any HBC activity or merchandise. Any unused Biker Bucks remaining as of Jan. 1, 2017 will be transferred to the HBC Janet Pontius Fund, which is used to promote bicycle safety.

Until Sept. 8, the cue sheets on the HBC website were only available to HBC members.  However, we get a lot of requests from traveling cyclists for cue sheets and directions, so the OPS Committee voted to make the cue sheets available as a public service.  Check them out on the HBC website under the Cue Sheets tab.

The Public Relations Committee is responsible for creating awareness of the Harrisburg Bike Club and promoting club activities and projects.  We could use some help with these efforts.  If anyone has an interest in applying his or her creative energies in helping with the HBC public relations committee, please contact Marie Roof atThis email address is being protected from spambots.
