THANKS TO OUR RIDERS AND VOLUNTEERS FOR A GREAT 2023 HHBT

Thanks to almost 400 registrants and an army of SIW volunteers, the 2023 Harvest Homecoming Bicycle Tour was a great success. We were again blessed with a fantastic day, and the beautiful southern Indiana fall foliage did not disappoint. There was plenty of great food before, during and after the ride, and the great roads were especially clean thanks to our hard-working mobile SAG crew. Hoosier hospitality was evident throughout the day as volunteers at parking, registration, breakfast, SAGs and lunch made sure riders had a fantastic experience. Thanks, too, to the volunteers who toiled before and after the event to make sure the venue was ready, and then left just as we found it (or better).

It takes an entire club to successfully present Harvest Homecoming year after year. If you see a volunteer at an upcoming ride, be sure to let them know their efforts were appreciated. Better yet, if you didn't volunteer this year, join the army of HHBT volunteers to make the 2024 HHBT even better!

HARVEST HOMECOMING TOUR T-SHIRTS AND JERSEYS ARE STILL AVAILABLE

We still have limited quantities of our 2023 Harvest Homecoming T-shirts available at Clarksville Schwinn. We also have limited quantities of past-years T-shirts and jerseys at reduced prices.

THANK YOU TO OUR HIGHWAY CLEAN-UP HEROES!!

Roben says: "Thanks to all who came out yesterday to make the Adopt-A-Highway clean up once again a HUGE success! We had an amazing turn-out, 19 people. We collected 30 HUGE bags of trash and 3 separate piles of large debris. The highway looks amazing. So, give yourselves a BIG pat on the back because we did an awesome job!
"Then, I want to tell you it is so nice to see the club come together and give back to the community as we did. It was truly a rewarding and a fun day hanging out together!!!"
