Come enjoy some autumn colors while riding the Greenbelt this Sunday at 1:00. We will ride the 18 mile loop plus the Ft Hunter extension (total mileage ~23 miles). We ride an average pace of 10 mph going faster on flat terrain and slower on hills. The elevation change is around 750 ft. The weather should be pleasant in the 50‘s. It‘s a nice fall treat with pleasant weather. Meet at the trailhead behind the City Line Diner (3302 Derry St, Harrisburg). See you then!
Ride Leader: Karl Martz

Garry is planning to have a Spinning class on Wednesday morning for those who don‘t like riding outdoors in 40-ish degree temperatures, but I‘m being optimistic that the weather for riding outdoors on Wednesday will be ok. If not, I‘ll cancel by 8:30 a.m. so we can still get to Garry‘s class. He‘ll be sending details shortly. So, this week you have a choice; ride outside with me or inside with Garry. Departure time: 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 4 Departure place: Mechanicsburg Giant, 5301 Simpson Ferry Road, Mechanicsburg Park in the rear of the lot. Restrooms are available in the front of the store. Route: We‘ll do an easy 26 mile ride over gentle terrain with a rest stop in Boiling Springs. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/18643106 Pace: C Pace 11-13 mph Optional lunch afterwards at Giuseppe‘s Pizza Cantina, 600 E.
