The Club also hosts numerous social events and supports bicycle-related initiatives through its grant program. The Club has awarded over $530,000 in grants since 1999.

LBC Bike to 30K Program: Ride #4 Pinetown Covered (8 Miles)
Landis Valley Museum, 2451 Kissel Hill Road, Lancaster, PA, USGrab your helmets, bikes, and sneakers — Lancaster Bicycle Club is gearing up for beginner and transitional rides! Local members of the LBC are thrilled to host this year’s Bike to 30K Program, designed especially for new, returning, and curious cyclists.
## About the Program
Bike to 30K is a seven‑week series that gently builds your confidence, fitness, and mileage. We begin with a five‑mile ride and gradually work up to eighteen miles by the end of the program. Our goal is simple: to introduce riders of all experience levels to the joy of cycling in a supportive, community‑focused environment.
This program is FREE with an LBC membership — and membership is also free. The Bike to 30K program is open to everyone in our community who wants to ride.## Why We Ride
Ever wonder why cyclists keep coming back? Because it’s fun. There’s nothing like coasting downhill and letting out a big “weeeeeee” all the way to the bottom. But we also know that if you’re new to cycling, jumping straight into an 18‑mile ride can feel intimidating. That’s exactly why Bike to 30K exists.
Each week, you’ll increase your mileage at a comfortable pace. You’ll get to know the club, meet fellow riders, and gradually grow into a confident Fun Rider — the group known for enjoying scenic, social rides together.## Our Commitment to You
Lancaster Bicycle Club is dedicated to supporting new riders and helping our community reach their cycling goals. Bike to 30K is part of our initiative to encourage more people to get outside, get active, and discover how enjoyable cycling can be.
Spend seven weeks with us and watch yourself transform into a Fun Rider — one mile at a time.
The Bike to 30K program is voluntary, welcoming, and designed with beginners in mind. We can’t wait to ride with you.## Membership, Waiver & RSVP Requirements
