Personal Quote:
When my daughter was 19, she rode her bicycle one summer from Seattle to Washington DC. As I followed her journey, I got interested in cycling myself, and decided to check out HBC. I was a total beginner with an inexpensive hybrid bike, but I signed up for the 55 mile Gold Coast ride. I was determined to finish the ride, and I was the last person back, but I loved the experience and the terrific club members who I met. I joined HBC, and can honestly say, that was one of the best decisions I have ever made!
