This family-oriented bicycling event will be held on July 15 – 18, 2010.
The Greene Trails Cycling Classic is a fun, family-oriented getaway that is easy on your wallet and friendly to the environment and your health! It is a multi-day event centered in Greene County, Ohio, and is designed to showcase the nationally recognized rail-to-trail system that exists there - and beyond, as well as the communities along the trails. All rides begin and end at the GTCC campground located at the Fairgrounds Recreation Center beside the Greene County Fairgrounds. Each day features and utilizes a different section of the trail with route(s) supported for rider convenience and safety. Routes include on-trail, out-and-back trips, as well as extended rides on rural roads for designated days. The broad network of trails provides an exceptional cycling experience for those families and individuals who want to take part in a bicycle or skating tour, but prefer the safety and comfort of staying on the trails. Alternate routes offer a choice for the more adventurous. Each day will offer special entertainment opportunities, and lots of exciting surprises.
All rides will begin and end at the event campgrounds at the Fairground Recreation Center in Xenia, Ohio. This offers the cyclists the opportunity to ride as many miles as they prefer and at their own pace. If you can’t make it for all four days, join us for the ones you can make. So come out and enjoy the nationally recognized and award-winning trails as well as off-trail routes for the more adventurous.

 I am Co-Chair of a fund raising ride, Round the Valley, sponsored by the Lebanon Valley Bicycle Coalition in Lebanon, PA. Round the Valley 2010, on August 28, 2010, offers bicyclists a 100 mile ride around the perimeter of the county, a metric century, a 25 mile ride and a short family ride led by a club member.
Round the Valley is a scenic, beautiful ride through farmland and charming towns on lightly traveled roads. The ride has exciting vistas and well supported rest stops. An excellent summer season ending ride.

The Harrisburg Bicycle Club is pleased to present our annual "century" bicycle ride, the Three Creek Century, starting from LeTort Park in Carlisle, PA on Sunday, September 19, 2010.
This is not a race but rather a leisurely ride through the scenic Cumberland Valley of central Pennsylvania. Ride on lightly traveled roads along and over the Conodoguinet, Yellow Breeches and Big Spring creeks which feed the Susquehanna river. Cue sheets, sag wagons and rest stops are provided for all routes as well as markings on the road to guide the riders on the routes. This event is well known for its homemade cookies, soup and other great food.
Most of the routes offer gentle terrain, although one of the 25 mile routes contains some challenging hills. Routes of 100, 75, 50, and 25-mile lengths are available. Also available this year is also a 10 mile "Highlights of Carlisle" Family Ride.
This ride will take place on Sunday, September 19, 2010 in the Cumberland Valley (starting in Carlisle), Pennsylvania. This event begins and ends in Carlisle and contains three loops, all starting and ending at the LeTort Park. This provides several different ride options to choose from, ranging from 25 miles up to a full 100 mile century. All the routes explore different parts of the beautiful Cumberland Valley. In its second year is also a 10-mile “Highlights of Carlisle” Family Ride. This event is open to the general public, and all bicycle riders are welcome.
