April 3 – HBC rides start! View ride calendar online
Sunday, March 14th, 2010The April 3rd start of the HBC riding season is almost upon us. With the lousy weather we’ve all been having (that includes Florida), I’m sure everyone is raring to go.
As promised at a 2009 club meeting, in 2010 we’ve made it easier and less cumbersome for all to view club rides. In the place of confusing monthly and weekly e-mails that contain hard to download attachments, we’re making use of a redesigned and easy to follow calendar on our website (http://www.hbcli.org/rideslist/current_ride_listlist.php). This calendar will be the single source for all ride information. Access to the calendar does not require a login code, and it will be updated as necessary.

April listings are already flowing in to the calendar from the various group ride captains, so take an early look and get ready for some great rides in 2010.

A ride to benefit Sunrise Day Camp
Sunday, March 14th, 2010A ride to benefit Sunrise Day Camp is an upcoming fundraising event that I would like to invite the members of HBC to participate in. Sunrise Day Camp is the only summer day camp in the country dedicated to serving children with cancer and their siblings. The camp is designed so that these children can attend free of charge enabling them to experience a regular camp setting when their treatments allow.
In order to provide these opportunities for the children Sunrise Day Camp is organizing a bicycling event for:
~~~ Sunday, April 18.
~~~Registration for the ride will be $25
~~~The event will have rides of three distances; 13, 26, and 44 miles
(all of this can be found on the website www.ConnorsArmy.org). We would love to get the word out to all the HBC riders to see if any would like to join us using their bicycles for a worthy cause.
Help the sun rise for a few deserving children.
Sincerely,
Gene Connor
