HBC First Sunday Greenbelt Ride
January 4, 2026
Start Time: 1:00 PM
Pace: Average 10 mph

Start off 2026 with a ride on the Capital Area Greenbelt! The loop is 18 miles of trail (some on road, some off road) mostly paved with many stops at crossroads. The ride leaves at 1:00 pm from the trailhead in Paxtang off Derry St (behind the City Line Diner, 3302 Derry St, Hbg 17111). If the spur routes are added to the loop (riders vote to add or not) the total mileage increases to 23-24 miles. The pace of the ride is average 10 mph (D+). We ride faster on flats and slower on hills. The terrain has a few hills. We ride the loop in a counter-clockwise direction. No rider left behind. Helmets are required. Be sure to pump your tires and know how to shift your gears before you come since there is a hill in the beginning of the ride. See you at the trailhead!

It is a little too cold and overcast for me to ride outside, so let‘s spin inside. Let’s spin at the new Jewish Community Center. Actually at the Symons Family Fitness Center located on the second floor of the Administration Building at 2986 North 2nd Street, Harrisburg. There is an underground parking garage, and the entrance is at the south end of the campus. See signs for Parking off 2nd Street near the cross walk. In the garage, opposite the drive-in entrance, is a buzzer/camera for entry. Buzz in and tell them you are coming for the fitness center, follow the path to the elevator, and go to the 2nd floor. We will gather there. There are lockers and showers and all sort of other exercise equipment (and other classes if you are interested). Arrival time – 10 AM If this is your first visit to the Harrisburg JCC Fitness area, they ask that you sign a waiver. If your insurance (Silver Sneakers, etc.) covers fitness areas please bring that card. There is a drop-in charge of $10 per visit, if not covered otherwise. I have curated about an hour of excellent music - suitable for spinning, hill climbing, and just cruising along. It is based on a specific theme, to be revealed. Come (from the West Shore, from Hershey, and all over) and enjoy an indoor ride. If there is interest we can gather after for lunch together.
