Fellowship Riders - Youth Ride!
Saturday, Sept. 19th | 10:00am
Fellowship Riders, start your engines! ... we mean, pedals!
Join the Fellowship Riders AND Youth Group on Sept.19th for a great day of riding, fellowship, and fun.
We are planning to start our ride here at Aldersgate's parking lot and then riding to The Haven Restaurant. Following lunch, we will then recross the Parkway
to Belle Haven Park, stop briefly at the Belle Haven Marina, and have
fellowship time and a short devotional along the riverbank
before proceeding back to Aldersgate.
Also, if you cannot ride due to time constraints, broken bike, etc., consider joining us at The Haven at around 10:30am for lunch and/or Bell Haven Park at 11:30am for fellowship and the devotional.
Whether you're a regular rider or thinking about joining for the first time, we'd love to have you along. Mark your calendar and invite a friend!
Bikers of all ages and skill levels are welcome!
Be sure to mark your calendar for future rides!
