HBC President’s Letter

March 2026

Dear HBC Members,

The HBC Board held a productive meeting on March 6th, and I would like to share several important updates with you.

Website Rejuvenation

You may have noticed that the HBC website looks different. It is currently under construction, and the version you see now is not yet finalized. While we always welcome your suggestions, it may be best to wait until the final version is officially announced before sending feedback.  We’ll let you know when the time comes.

Ride Calendar

Rides are already being scheduled on our Ride Calendar. Please take a look and join us to take advantage of the early spring weather.

Notable upcoming events include:

- Smart Cycling (March 20th): Physical therapist Kent Malcomson will present essential tips for the upcoming biking season.

- Ride Leader Refresher (May 3rd): Led by Doug Claycomb, this annual event is required for all current and prospective ride leaders.

- Spring Kickoff (Tentatively May 10th): Stay tuned for more details.

- 3rd Annual Ride Hiawatha (July 6th): Alan Wichman and his team are already preparing for this premier event. As always, volunteers are greatly appreciated.

Member Jersey Discount

In appreciation of your loyalty to the club, the board is pleased to offer a 20% member discount on HBC jerseys. This discount will apply to purchases made when the jersey store opens this spring. You will receive an email soon with the specific dates the store will be open.

Next Meeting

The next HBC Board meeting is scheduled for April 9th, 2026, at 7:00 PM.

Respectfully,

Lisa Soldat
