Butter Side Up (D) May 6
On Saturday, May 6'06 saw 4 riders show up on a sunny, cool morning at Catholic High. The original leader, Dottie Sheehy took me up on my offer to lead this ride. Dottie was able to enjoy the weekend at St. Michael's LBC Spring Fling. In fact, we felt so energized by this ride that we actually agreed to do an extra 5 miles. Even though we added in a long hill, Snake Hill Rd., everyone stayed together. We ended up with 27miles at the advertised pace. My hat goes off to Harold, as he rode over from Lampeter and wound up with ~43miles. Harold was getting in riding shape for the CBMC in August. Harold, you are awesome and an inspiration to all. Riders: Sylvia Newcomer (leader), Jack Mentzer, Jim White, Harold Baughman and Janielle Willemin.

Gauge Your Fitness (A) May 6
Great turnout on a nice Saturday morning with 2 ride leaders. We had a wide range of abilities. The pace went from 16.2 to 20.5 and everyone had some one to ride with. Warren flatted twice, but other than that the ride was incident free. Riders: Scott Wagner/Sally Higgins (leaders), Marcy T. Diem, Neil Fickes, Harry Smith, Brian Sowatsky, Dale Burkholder, Marlin Hess, Ed Granger, Carl Laws-Landis, Jon Lyons, Mark Buckwalter, Ken Lessans, Warren Buch, Dirk Suereth, and non-LBC members George Metzler, Tom Rineer, and Bill Blank.

Drager Drag (C) May 6
Another excellent day to ride; great weather! Eight of us met at the Landisville Middle School parking lot. Most of us maintained a comfortable 14 mph pace; slightly better than our advertised pace of 12 mph, but all were in agreement. No one was dropped. We did have one rider that decided to serve as course "scout" and went out ahead of us fairly early on. And then another two set out on a slightly faster pace, too; one needed to get back so he could go to work. Eventually the group of eight became the lone ranger, the dynamic duo, and the fab four, and what about Mary. Several commented that it was an interesting course, noting how a few times they thought the ride was nearly over when there was another loop of some sort thrown in to add a few more miles; not that they were complaining. They just thought it was amusing. So, it was a good ride--no real reportable incidents other than very nice weather, and a good group of riders! Riders: Tom Barron (leader), Lou Gray (sweep), Stephen Ransing, Steve Schmohl, Rich Wagner, Tom Mellinger, Mary Stadden, and Jim Drumm.

Pedal to Preserve Long May 6
Weather was beautiful, partly cloudy and temps ranging from 60 to mid 70 degrees. We could only hope that Spring Fling participants had weather that was as good. Debbie joined us for her first club ride and proceeded to take off in the break-away pack. As usual, there was not a bicycle rider in the group that could avoid the magnetic pull of a Sheetz. Only 10 miles into the ride, the lead pack is sucked in. We made a brief (not to some riders) stop at the Marietta Sheetz where Carl drank his signature cup of coffee, but no doughnut. Apparently some riders (in the lead pack) were cue sheet impaired as they cut off several miles and hills. One rider was actually seen going the wrong direction on one road. A good time was had by all. Riders: Ed Gower (leader), Bill & Nancy Ambler, Brian Heiland, Debbie Kirchner, Carl Kreider, Rachel Kreider, John Peregoy, Roger Sheaffer, Dave Kessler, Gil Palmieri, and John Gantz.

Harry Campbell's Loop (Spring Fling) May 6

Penn Run (A) May 7
Riders: Curtis Palmer (leader), Warren Buch, Charlie Futcher, Damon Schlott, Mark Buckwalter, Barry Lavender, Ken Lessans and Dirk Suereth.

Sunday Fiesta (B) May 7
Another excellent day to ride; great weather! Nine of us met at the Hempfield Sports Complex parking lot. First, welcome to new member Christine Brubaker, although she has been on other club rides as a guest, she is now a member. The ride started out a little faster than the advertised 14 mph, probably because it was such a nice day to ride. We eventually broke into two groups with Bill Angermier becoming the co-leader for the faster group since he had been on a previous Sunday Siesta ride and knew the course. The faster group was maintaining a pace of approximately 16 to 17 mph when we decided to split. Originally, the slower group consisted of the leader and one other rider, but we were still maintaining a comfortable pace of about 15.5 mph. We eventually met up with another rider from the front group; he explained he must have taken a wrong turn and added a mile or two by the time we caught up. Ironically, the front group later reported that they too made a wrong turn somewhere, but theirs ended up shaving off a few miles. Apparently no one complained about this "shortcut" though. Several riders commented that it was a very nice course--nice rolling hills, fairly light traffic, and one of the most scenic Club rides they had been on so far. Riders: Tom Barron (ride leader), Bill Angermier (co-leader for fast group), Lou Gray (sweep for faster group), Steve Gerber, Paul Yatabe, Jim Moore, Don ?, Bill Ressel, and Christine Brubaker (recv'd new member appl & dues)

Historic Lititz (C) May 7
A challenging ride on a beautiful day. Our rest stop at Stauffer's turned long because we were waiting for 2 riders who apparently cut the ride short. Group broke up here because some stopped to have lunch and others kept truckin'. Great group! Riders: Carol Weisser (leader), Mary Palmieri, Gil Palmieri, Michael Colosi, John McKelvey, Rick Shauzo, Jason Young, Harry Campbell, John Gantz, Dave Kessler, Rachel Kreider, John Furry, John Peregoy, Heidi Hendrix, Celeste Neuhard, Bill Weisser, and Billy Weisser.

Up & Down Intercourse (D) May 7
It was my first led ride. I was a little nervous! Thanks to Karen and Jim's tips everything went good. I hope all the riders had fun and enjoyed the Herr's pretzels at the end. Thank you sweep Penny for helping keep everyone together! Riders: Jim Drumm (leader), Penny Kulp (sweep), Jim Kulp, Jonas Fisher, Cliff Stanis, Fred Umble and Jim White.

Pedal To Preserve (D) May 13
Temperature 59 for ride start with little wind but very dark stormy looking sky and we were heading right into it. I knew we were going to get wet and I still had to ride home. We had five riders and were off for a great ride and no rain, we came to wet roads and a few drops of rain on Landis Road but we didn't get wet. Made a rest stop at the Fire House in Maytown for a drink and bathroom usage--a very enjoyable ride. Guess we were just riding right or is that living right. Whatever--good riding, nice group and dry clothes and 69 degrees and sunny for ride finish. Riders: Judy Flowers (leader), David Flowers (sweep), John McKelvey, Roy Drinkwater, and Jim White.

New East Pete to E-town (B) May 13
This great ride "New East Pete to E-Town" on Saturday, May 13 saw 20+ riders show up in spite of the impending rainy forecast. As we wound thru Bent Creek and crossed over Fruitville Pike, I saw riders peel off. Ray yelled that he was turning back. Cindy rode home since she hadn't felt well. Bob, Michelle and I decided to alter the ride and swing over to Lititz in hopes of escaping the rain. Not so. Still we had a good ride and kept the advertised pace of 14mph. Michelle enjoyed her first ride in spite of being wet. I asked for feedback from other riders: Brian Mitchell's comment: "I also cut off your rainy ride 4 miles into it (It was the 1st time I had the new bike in the rain. So I was not very happy)." Randy Haluck comments: "There must have been at least 20 riders at the start of the New East Pete to E-town ride on 5/13 but when the raindrops fell, eventually only 5 of us did the whole route: me, Tim Good, Mike, Rob, and Mr. ____ Keating. (sorry, can't remember names, Sylvia, maybe you have from signup). It rained from mile 4 and then for about the first hour of the ride about until we made the turn from Pinch onto Camp road. It was a steady soaking rain. Comments amongst the motley crew included: "are you staying dry?" "I don't think the heavy stuff is gonna come down for awhile" (ref Bill Murray, Caddyshack) "darn, I think my sunscreen is washing off..." "It's a good thing there was only a 30% chance of rain, 70-80% and this would REALLY suck!" "I hope that was only dirt that just flew off your back wheel (and into my face)." Camp Road was basically drying out to dry. The rain missed the western area of this ride." Larry said, "Randy, it's me, and I never felt TOO wet. It turned out to be not a good ride BUT a great ride". The small group stayed together and ended up with a 16.7mph pace. John Peregoy and group took refuge in a gazebo across from Bent Creek and stated the following: "I rode back to Mt Joy with Ken and Mary where their car was parked and they went home. I picked up the ride on Donegal Springs Rd and backed tracked to the rest stop at Redner's market. I passed 6 of the A riders at the Witness tree church. I found no other riders and turned around and took a different route home. Ended w/ 53 mi.". : Leader-Sylvia Newcomer, Tim Good, Bob Brader, Eric Evans, Ray Landis, John Renard, Brian Mitchell, Michael Colosi, Michelle Dionne (first ride with the club), John Mullineaux, Mary & Ken Stadden, Doug Stark, John Peregoy, Celeste Neuhard, John Gantz, Randy Haluck, Jack Hohenwadel(sp?), Craig Shreiner, Paul Smeltz and Cindy Davis.

Northern Exposure (A) May 13
Mike Lutz had a mechanical problem as we started the climb into Lebanon County. It turns out his derailleur hanger broke. He used his cell phone to call for help. We set up a plan that if he didn't get help, Damon would return with his pickup truck. Mike got a ride and his bike frame was sent back to the factory. I understand they sent him a new frame. We all rode together. We crossed over the mountain at Mt. Gretna and the sky let loose and we got rained on for 10 minutes. Riders: Kyle Awkerman (leader), Ken ?, Ken Lessans, Mark Buckwalter, Scott Wagner, Marlin Hess, Brian Sowatsky, Damon Schlott, Carl Laws-Landis, Tim Norejko, Jon Lyons, and non-LBC member Billy Weisser.

Brownstown-Akron-Farmersville (C) May 13
It was a beautiful day for a bicycle ride but not in Lancaster County. We decided against riding in the rain and ate breakfast instead. Riders: Gary Musser (leader), Jim Payton, Tracy Irvine, John Cardos, Tom Mellinger and Jim Toomey.

Intermediate Picnic Ride (Tandem) May 14
Ride Leader Gary Musser (and Jan) and Team Stafford (Joe and Carolyn) left on time from the Manheim Twp Park with gray skies overhead. Gary chose to modify the route from the cue sheet for a more pleasant ride start. After about five miles, Gary led us to a point on the original cue sheet and gave us the option of continuing on-we did. Gary headed back. Not a drop of rain was felt throughout the remainder of the ride. We only did 31 miles of the 28 mile ride. That included two missed turns. One took us on a thrilling downhill with a tailwind. Yup-that cost us a mile climb back with a headwind. We also found a missing cue on the ride. There should be a cue when Millport makes a left at the airport and the road becomes Kissel Hill. That's not clear to "folks who ain't from around there" and a captain who is direction impaired. This is one of many spectacular rides from LBC's library. The beautiful homes and picture perfect farmland enhanced the lightly traveled roads for a relatively flat ride. Riders: Gary Musser (leader), Jan ?, Joe & Carolyn Stafford.

Three Lakes Loop (A) May 14
I guess the cloudy skies and the fact that we got caught in the rain yesterday kept the turnout low for this ride. Only myself and two others headed north for this 40 mile recovery ride. We rode at a comfortable 16.5 pace with lots of conversation. The rain held off and we had a good time. Riders: Damon Schlott (leader), Craig Shreiner and Barry Lavender

. Meadow View (C) May 14
Rained out! Riders: Carol Weisser (leader), Carl Kreider, and Harry Campbell

East Pete West (D) May 14
Rained out. Riders: Barb Koppenhafer (leader)

Speedwell Forge (B) May 14
Rained out after 3.5 miles into the ride. Riders: Jack Bingham (leader) and Michelle Bingham.

Ice Cream Topped with Lititz May 17
Not a large group; however, a nice few. No rain. Riders: John Cardos (leader), Harry Campbell (sweep), Gary Musser, and Linda Wright.

Mount Joy Jaunt (A) May 20
It was a sunny but windy morning that warmed up nicely. The headwinds hurt us going out but helped us average 19 mph on the way back. Riders: Mark Buckwalter (leader), Ken Lessans, Neil Fickes, Scott Wagner, and non-LBC member Bart Torre.

CVHS Strasburg (B) May 20
Riders: Brian Mitchell (leader), Tim Good, Matt London, Don Whitehead, Craig Shreiner, Curtis Palmer, Ed DiPilla, Damon Schlott, Debbie Kirchner, Tracy Irvine, Dwight ?, Ed Granger, Flo Good, Gil Palmieri, Heidi Hendrix, Paul Smeltz, Chris Laudo, and non-LBC member Ron Herr.

Spring Garden Long (B) May 20
Five cyclists showed up to brave a strong wind and at least one challenging hill on Spring Garden Road. I opted out of the ride, and was glad I did after hearing reports later of the strong headwind coming back in to CVHS. Riders: Candae Deen (un-leader), Craig Shreiner, Flo Good, Bill Ressel, Joe Kealey, Mark Kaufman.

Throttles & Bottles Scenic Tour (C) May 20
Steve, unfortunately, had to withdraw from the ride due to an injury just prior to its start. It turns out that his finger was not broken, but was dislocated. He and we were all sorry he had to miss what turned out to be a nice ride. Hopefully he can join us on this ride the next time. The sun actually came out just about the same time we got started riding, like someone turned the switch. Just prior to that we thought it could start raining at any moment. So, this was nearly perfect, except for the steady headwind we encountered during at least half of the ride. And Jim Toomey, one of the Club's newest members, was able to log his first official Club ride start, with hopefully many more to come. The course was really scenic, leaving from the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum in Strasburg toward the Lancaster County Winery south of Willow Street. The hills through this part of the county were a little more moderate than rolling, but still manageable for the most part. We started out a little faster than the advertised 12 mph, but eventually settled into a comfortable pace at about 13.5 mph. The leader ended up prompting two wrong turns near the end of the ride, ironically when there were actually no turns and we should have continued straight as the road name changed. One of the wrong turns I swear was probably intentional to try to avoid a particularly pesky Bunker Hill, but we didn't stray too far returning to the museum; finally with the wind to our back. Riders: Tom Barron (leader), Ron Dillon (sweep), Stephen Ransing (WDI*) Jim Toomey, Jim Drumm. * WDI-withdrew due to injury

Ride To Manheim (D) May 20
As we gathered to start the ride the winds were beginning to increase. We had more head & side winds than we did tailwinds. About 10 miles out Harold got a flat. Chris offered his assistance and they met us at Molly's. Everyone stayed together and we had an enjoyable ride. Riders: Rachel Kreider (leader), Karen Drawbaugh (sweep), Jim Payton, Linda Wright, Marilyn Gelsinger, Mary Stadden, Cyndi Royer, Pam Williams, Jack Mentzer, Janielle Willemin, Harold Fulmer, John Gantz, Greg Mayfield, Chris Mayfield, and Carol Weisser

Tour de Marietta (Tandem) May 20
Although it was a sunny day the wind picked up and we fought our way to Marietta. In Marietta, there was a flea market on the Market Street in the center portion of town so we detoured around it via Front Street. Other than the wind, it was a nice day for a ride. Where were all the rest of the tandem teams? Riders: Joe and Carolyn Stafford (leaders)

Bull Moose Ride (A) May 21
Riders: Damon Schlott (leader), Mark Buckwalter, Tom Hung Barry Lavender, and non-LBC members Will Shaub and Billy Weisser.

Tour de Marietta (C) May 21
Too windy! Ride cancelled. Riders: Carol Weisser (leader)

New Holland Long Ride (Tandem) May 21
This was a tandem specific ride. The weather was windy at 29 mph (Weather Channel) and threatening rain. Even so, one other tandem couple showed. We had a great time together. We shortened the ride because of the weather conditions. Riders: Lloyd & Lois Melhorn (leaders) and Gil and Mary Ann Linde

Ride to Bainbridge (B) May 21
The leader, Sylvia Newcomer bagged the ride due to a migraine. I wished them all well and off they rode into the fierce wind. No tales to tell or none that were reported. Thank you for riding! The day was overcast, temps in the sixties and very gusty winds yet the following riders showed up: Don ??, Bill Angermier, Ed and Bobbie Fearnow, Jason Young, Mark Ward and Chris Brubaker

Freeze & Frizz Is Where It is (Ice Cream Ride) May 24
A very pleasant evening for a ride and ice cream. Riders: Gary Musser (leader), Brian Winn, John Cardos, Linda Wright and non-LBC members Dianne, Roger and David Good.

Farmersville Frolic (All Class Ride) May 27
There were 53 riders for the first "all class ride." We left the school in waves so as not to clog the roads too badly. Dottie and John McKelvey took a detour to miss some hills and met up with a faster group at the Sheetz. Dave Kessler had a blowout on his new bike. Around Amishtown Road, we encountered the Berks Bike Club. They were lost and off cue. Whoever made their cue sheet put in a wrong turn. Thanks to the LBC members who gave them advice and directions! No major mishaps. Hope everyone enjoyed the ride! Riders: Carol Weisser (sweep), Brian Heiland, Ray Landis, Rich Wagner, Lou Gray, Steve Mazeski, Jim Payton, Don Whitehead, Jim Toomey, Carl Kreider, Dave Kessler, Harry Campbell, Craig Shreiner, Bob Brader, Ken Lessans, Irene Camp, John McKelvey, Eric Evans, Janielle Willemin, Marlin Hess, Mal Brubaker, Mark Buckwalter, Chris Laudo, Mark Kaufman, Karen Drawbaugh, John Cardos, Tracy Irvine, Dottie Sheehy, Candae Deen, Don R?, Bill Crawford, Harold Fulmer, Linda Wright, Roger Sheaffer, John Gantz, Jim Moore, Andrew Mead, Vaughn Good, Tom Mellinger, Curtis Palmer, John Donati, Cindy Davis, Ed Granger, Bob Turner, Bill Ressel, John Lyons, Michael Riggi, John Mullineaux, Jim Drumm, Scott Wagner, Tom Dreyer, Steve Schmohl and non-LBC member Leo Lutz.

Manheim Meander (A) May 28
Nine riders showed up to ride on this glorious spring morning to do this A ride. Although the ride was posted at a 17 mph average, we were soon in the mid 18's. By the time we reached Speedwell Forge at mile 20 one rider decided to drop off the back and of course I stayed with him. Mike Lutz dropped with us too and rode as impressive as ever, even though he was riding his old Schwinn Varsity. When was the last time you saw that on an A ride. It doesn't seem to slow him down one bit either. I'm not sure what the lead group finished at, but our little group of 3 finished at 17.9. Excellent ride!! Riders: Curtis Palmer (leader), Mark Buckwalter, Mike Lutz, Billy Weisser, Barry lavender, Mark Ward, and non-LBC members Tim Hoyle, Bart Torre, Ken Wareham, and Ron Irvine.

Tour of the Amish Country (B) May 28
Riders: Brian Mitchell (leader), Rich Wagner, Don Whitehead, Steve Gerber, Steve Mazeski, Andy Charles, Jim Weaver, Becky Weaver, Taicha Rohrbach, Ed Granger, Bill Angermier, John Donati, Diane Lausman, Joe Kealey, Craig Shreiner, Scott Wagner, Kevin Lunz, Dirk Suereth, Brian Heiland, Bill Ressel, and non-LBC members Tom Rineer, Jason Young, and Harry Smith.

Three Lakes Loop (B) May 28
Riders: Jack Bingham (leader), Michelle Bingham, Jude Sharp, Ed Fearnow, Bobbi Fearnow and David Y. Hooper.

Speedwell Forge Repose (C) May 28
There was some dissatisfaction with my description of the climb on Mumma Road as an "uptick". Jim Drumm celebrated his birthday with us and had a flat just before Molly's. Phil Wright and Jim Payton fixed it for him as a birthday present! Riders: John Cardos (leader), Jim Payton (sweep), Karen Drawbaugh, Steve Snyder, Jim Drumm, Phil & Linda Wright, Gary Musser, Carol Weisser, Lloyd Melhorn, Steve Young, and John Mullineaux.

Drager Drag (C) May 28

Buena Vista Short Ride (D) May 28
The temperature was near 80 and clear sunny skies with picture perfect views of Lancaster countryside. We had fifteen members and three non members--one from VA and two from MA. The MA girls had trouble with the rolling terrain on Stumptown Road and turned back but never advised anyone. I stopped with Chuck and waited at Church Road and found Alta, Sylvia and Dottie and one thought the MA girls were ahead of us and one thought they turned around. So we continued after a short wait. We were off to find the group, but that was not to happen. Alta soon took the lead and Sylvia and I started talking. I lost sight of Alta and Chuck and Dottie. We missed the Vigilant Road turn and ended up on Rte 340, so we took that in to meet Queen Street and made a stop at the gas station and called David to see where and how they were doing. He said they were all together and on Scenic Road near the 14.4 miles point. No sign of Dottie, Alta and Chuck. So we tried to catch the first group but no luck they were back waiting for us and some had already left. The MA girls' car was gone so they made it back, but I never did see Alta, Dottie and Chuck. So this is a tale of how the leader lost control, but it sounded like everyone had a good time. Diane told us she found the LBC Club from a newspaper article in the New York Times naming our club, so she went on the web site and found this ride. Riders: Judy Flowers (leader), Dottie Sheehy (sweep), Roy Drinkwater, David Flowers, Ed Mowery, Steve & Eileen Mazeski, Chuck Wissing, Alta Nolt, Jim & Penny Kulp, Sylvia Newcomer, Elenor Ruffort, Jonas Fisher, non-LBC members: Diane Cohen, Patty Phelar, Joan Hurd

Stackstown Spin (B) May 29
We finally had a Memorial Day Weekend with great weather-although some might say it was a bit too hot, too early. We had a great turnout and the ride broke into a couple of groups soon after the start. Speaking of "broke," the leader broke his pedal off at about the eight mile mark and had to limp back to the start one-legged. But from everything that I heard, the rest of the ride went okay, except for Jeff's flat that is. Riders: John Renard (leader), Steve Mazeski, Don Whitehead, Candae Deen, John Mullineaux, Randy Haluck, Rich Wagner, Carl Kreider, Dwight Bower, Roger Sheaffer, Dave Kessler, Pam Yatabe, John Gantz, Debbi Kirchner, Jeff DeLong, Pearl DeLong, John Donati, Cindy Davis, Mary Stadden, Lou Gray, Jerry Wisnosky, Diane Lausman, Bill and Nancy Ambler, and Kevin Lunz
