I will be leading a 20-25 mile from the hotel at a moderate D+ pace on Friday.  I will be leading a longer ride on Sat and a short ride on Sunday. Once you are registered and paid, please sign up here.

The 2026 Hershey Spring Cycling Weekend, hosted by Bike Tours by Linda, in partnership with the National 9/11 Memorial Trail Alliance, will take place May 15-16-17.  We will be staying at the newly renovated Holiday Inn in Hershey/Grantville - this hotel is a conference center, which hosts many conventions.  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.

For groups of seven (7) or more, the Group Discount is an additional $5 off per person, for each member of the group.

The website (biketoursbylinda.com) will be updated for the Spring Weekend within the next week or so, but in the meantime, registration for the Spring Weekend is OPEN for YOU, our Friends & Family VIPs.  You may register either via postal mail, or, on-line via Zelle.

Please feel free to contact me, if you have any questions.  In case this email may bounce with certain addresses, please feel free to check with your roommate, to ask if he/she/they also received this.

This will be my 4th Bon Ton and I had a great time cycling the Finger Lakes.  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.
