TOUR
As of Feb. 24, there were
only 6 rooms still available
in the air conditioned
units. However, additional
townhouse units are
available that are not air
conditioned. Air
conditioning is rarely
needed at night in the
Finger Lakes area, but
there are never any
guarantees with the
weather.
We're going back to the Finger
Lakes area to enjoy the pleasant riding, spectacular scenery
and fine wines. Once again we
will be staying at HobartWilliam Smith College in Geneva, which is on the northern
end of Seneca Lake. The accommodations are airconditioned townhouse units
with 4 or 5 single bedrooms, 2
bathrooms, a living room and a
kitchen.
(It is possible, but not easy, to
move 2 single beds into one
bedroom.) Each person will be
given a packet of cue sheets
and maps for routes ranging
from 20 miles to 90 miles. You
can choose to ride with a designated group leader or head out
on the route of your choice.
The only restriction is that you
not ride alone, since no sag will
be available. Also, if you plan
to ride on a designated group
ride, you should be capable of
doing a 12 mph pace for 50
miles.
The cost is $105 per person for
3 nights lodging (Thurs, Fri. &
Sat.), 3 breakfasts, bed linens, a
pillow and a towel. We have
reserved enough townhouses to
accommodate 50 people. A $25
deposit is due by March 31 and
the balance is due May 7, 2010.
It may be possible to stay extra
nights at the college at a cost of
$100 per townhouse per night.
Contact me for details.
If you prefer motel accommodations, feel free to contact me
for recommendations. Prices
range from $58 to $150 or
more depending on location.
The only charge assessed to
those staying off campus will
be for meals on campus, if
desired, and copying costs for
maps and cue sheets. Even if
you are staying off campus,
you
are
asked
to complete a registration form
so that I can be sure that I can
have your contact information
and so I'll know how many ride
packets are needed.
A registration form is included
in this newsletter. For more

BIKES FOR CHILDREN IN NEED
Operation Wildcat in the Mechanicsburg Area School District is an organization consisting of parents who are working
to pool the resources of the
community to help local students and families in
need. This is a wonderful
organization that operates entirely on the generosity of local
families and businesses.
We have found that many of
the students in our community
were in need of bicycles. Last
year we gave away 50
bikes. On Saturday, April 17
from 1:00 to 4:00 we will be
holding our third annual "Bike
Repair Day"at Storage Depot
on the Cumberland Parkway in
Mechanicsburg. We are looking for volunteers who can help
inflate tires, lubricate chains,
and look for bent or broken
parts. If you are interested in
assisting us, please contact
Danette Swartley at danetteswartley@yahoo.com or 7668557.

Please join the Tour de Cure
challenge this year in Boiling
Springs on Saturday, May 22.
The annual road bike fundraiser meets the need of every
level of experience. Road
routes exist from the 9K family
ride for young participants to
enjoy, to the SAG supported
25K, 50K or 100K events complete with pre-established rest
stops.
No bike, no problem. There
will be 25 spinning cycles in
the school gymnasium with a
motivated instructor from
Gold's Gym to lead the
classes. If you choose to participate in the spin-a-thon, a
volunteer will contact you to
reserve a bike for one of the
four planned sessions.
After your spin session or bike
tour, you will be treated to a
hot meal, music and a massage.
The Mountain Bike Challenge
is on Sunday, June 6. Participants will meet at the Big Flat
ATV lot in Michaux State Forest. Please note that the route is
single-track, 16 miles long, and
not suitable for beginning riders. You should have some
experience in riding off-road
with rocks, logs, and an occasional stream to cross. Safety is
paramount.
Please check the official ADA
website for details about registering your ride as an individual or team member. Donations
may be made on line as well,
so that you can spend training
time on your bike and not collecting money from your supporters. Remember that registration fees do not count toward
the fund-raising minimum of
$150 and are not refundable.
Encourage a friend, come with
your family, and bring a crowd
to join you during this year's
Tour de Cure.

JANET A. POINTUS: WHO WAS SHE
A N D H OW D O E S S H E A F F E C T M E ?
In this issue of the Spokesman, you will see a Harrisburg Bicycle Club Membership Application/Renewal
Application. One of the line
items listed in the Annual
Dues section is Optional
“HBC Janet A. Pontius
Safety Fund” Contribution.
You may or may have not
added a contribution to your
annual dues for the Janet A
Pontius Safety Fund, but did
you wonder why the fund
exists, what its purpose is or
why you should consider a
contribution?
Janet A. Pontius was a
member and the secretary of
HBC in 1976 who enjoyed
riding her bicycle – the
same as most of us. On
October 15 of that year, a
bright sunny day, Janet was
struck and killed by the side
mirror of a van while riding
midday on Colonial Road in
Lower Paxton Township.
She was an experienced
rider, the weather conditions
were excellent and by all
indications, she was doing
everything according to the
safety rules for bicycle riding. It was a tragedy and
the driver of the van was
charged with involuntary
manslaughter. A group of
concerned citizens established a Janet A. Pontius
Safety Foundation to honor
her memory, and to try to
promote safety measures to
help avoid such tragedies in
the future. Initially, the
Foundation made an annual
Safety Award consisting of
a monetary award and a
suitable certificate close to
the time of Janet’s birthday,
April 28th, to a nominee
who exhibited exemplary
bicycle safety. Since that
time, the HBC has established the Janet A. Pontius
Safety Fund that has been
used to promote safety
measures for bicycle riders.
In the past, the monies from
the Fund have been used to
offer discounts on the purchase of bicycle helmets, for
the ID/Insurance stickers to
be adhered to the inside of
helmets, to purchase helmets for underprivileged
children, for the ID tags that
were offered free to mem-
bers in 2006, for the discounted RoadID gift cards,
and for other bicycle safety
measures.
HBC is again sponsoring
the Helmet Drive this May
by offering a $10.00 coupon
toward the purchase of a
new ANSI or SNELL certified helmet from participating bike shops. Watch for
the coupon and use it from
May 1st through May 31st,
2010. And, when you renew your HBC membership, please consider a donation to the Janet A. Pontius Safety Fund. You will
benefit by it!

Traffic Skills 101 in Lancaster in April. Bill is a very experienced
instructor, specially trained and certified by the League of American

bicycle and bicycle helmet for each because the focus of the course is
vehicular-style cycling, proven to be the safest and most efficient
way to ride and the best way to learn this technique is with Bill's
able coaching as you ride:
* April 7 (Wed.), 6:30 to 9:30pm;
* April 10 and 24 (Sat.), 9:00am to 12:30pm

via Treasurer@harrisburgbicycleclub.org for reimbursement when you
