Wide variety of scenic routes, both on the roads, as well as trails. The local Harrisburg Bicycle Club will be assisting us. Nearby scenic and historic attractions include quaint towns, farmlands, the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg, Fort Hunter Mansion, City Island, Fort Indiantown Gap, and Memorial Lake State Park. We will also be providing live music on Saturday afternoon, as well as the popular blender-bike, so that guests can pedal-up some delicious concoctions. We will also have raffle prizes....this time, we will draw the raffle tickets no later than Sunday breakfast time! For cyclists traveling with non-cyclist companions, there are plenty of activities and attractions, which can be enjoyed without a bike. The hotel has an indoor pool and a fitness center. The hotel is close to Hershey Park/Chocolate World, Hollywood Casino/Penn National Raceway, as well as the State Capital in Harrisburg.

If you have any questions, please contact me. First sign up and register on the Bon Ton website and then sign up on the MAFW ride schedule so I know who is going. | Bon Ton Roulet | Auburn YMCA The Bon Ton Roulet is a five day bicycle tour through the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of New York State. Our fully supported tour takes cyclists from wide open farm fields, past stunning overlooks of our lakes, to cavernous water-carved gorges, National Historic Sites as well as award winning wineries. The Long Route appeals to those riders who love the challenge of a 60-75 mile ride per day. The Regular Route, typically 40-50 miles per day, tends to attract newer riders & those who plan on spending the day leisurely browsing the markets & attractions along the way. Many riders even switch back & forth between routes during the week, making the Bon Ton the perfect tour! Check out the website below for more info and to register. After registering with Bon Ton please sign up on the MAFW ride schedule so we know who is going.
