Recently HBC President Tony Barone attended a meeting of the presidents of five LI  bicycle clubs. The main agenda was to co-ordinate the premier rides each club has annually so that they do not occur on the same day(s).  At that meeting he scheduled our Gold Coast for Sunday July 11, 2010.

The five Long Island Bicycle clubs involved are:
Massapequa Park Bicycle Club (MPBC)
Long Island Bicycle Club (LIBC);
C.L.I.M.B. Long Island’s mountain biking club;
Suffolk Bike Riders Association (SBRA) ;
Huntington bicycle Club (HBC)

2010 Ride List:
Bike Boat Bike for June 6th
LIBC multi-club ride is set for June 27th
Gold Coast Tour for July 11th
SBRA picnic is set for July 18th.
MPBC multi-club set for July 25th
Tour of the Hamptons for September 26th.

Time to plan ahead for a great summer!

SBRA president Bob DeVito also has this invite:

All members of the five clubs are invited to a gathering at Brookhaven Village Hall, on Saturday February 27th for an all day Super Cycling series of seminars, presentations and workshops on group riding, road etiquette, ride leadership, bicycle mechanics, etc. Breakfast and lunch included.

Lou has again set up plans for our annual Lancaster Covered Bridge Ride.

Here is the information Lou has provided:

With two individuals in the room the total cost is only $150 dollars which includes ALL meals!!

RESERVATION NUMBER:    800-626-2021  WEEKEND:  Saturday & Sunday, August 14 & 15 2010

So, you owe it to yourself to enjoy the Amish Country at a reasonable price plus enjoying two beautiful days of cycling and sightseeing.

Every year the group has expanded from initially 10 riders to as many as 35 riders.  With this in mind, PLEASE make your reservations early as possible as I had to close out the group last year.  Last year I was able to ADD rooms as I did receive an early count.

Lou shows off a birthday gift from his covered bridge buddies.

NOTE: We will probably leave much earlier this year to avoid the traffic and to have a longer but EASY ride through the country side on Saturday.  I made arrangements for us to change into our cycling gear upon arrival on Saturday.

For the new people who have never did this ride before it is a FUN weekend at your OWN pace and mileage.  I will provide the on-line registration link when available as well as additional information.

Thank you,

Lou Bruno
