We have the Grand Ballroom reserved for us, for the whole weekend. The Spring Weekend has a very similar format to the Fall Weekend - buffet-style breakfasts and dinners at the hotel, plenty of sandwiches and snacks to take with you during your rides, presentations after dinner. 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.
