Fun Bike Trip we had!!

Yesterday we had a great afternoon on the Lake Brandt Greenway Bike Trail in Greensboro! It was first planned out to be a middle school bike trip to Virginia Creeper trail, but it turned out to be a middle school / Kid Rocks / family kinda gig in G'boro instead! God works if funny ways, you know? It was a great day of biking! I'll be scheduling another one of these real soon.

Middle School Bike Trip Changed a Bit!!

Middle School Bike Trip Slight Change... but still THIS SUNDAY!!
The Middle School bike trip has changed a bit! Because of the small sign up for the trip to the Virginia Creeper, I've decided to change the trip up a bit and make it a bit more user friendly for youth and families combined!

We're now going to bike the Lake Brandt Greenway in Greensboro and I'm inviting all families to join us!! The weather is suppose to be perfect and making this a family oriented trip makes this even better. However, if family can't come, youth can still come! So get your bike dusted off!!

DEPART: 12:30 p.m. from the church parking lot. This should give everyone plenty of time to go home after worship, grab their bikes and gear, and eat some lunch.
TRANSPORTATION: We'll have a variety of ways to get to the trail. You can drive yourself, or join us in a church van. We have a couple ways to transport everyone's bikes. So now worries!
COST: $0
DISTANCE: The bike trail is all paved, so road bikes welcome! Check out the map that I've attached. The distance is about 2.5 miles. We'll park at one end, bike to the end, and then bike back to the cars.
ARRIVE BACK: I plan on making it back to the church no later than 5:30 p.m. if we can so I can make it to sr. high youth group.

Virginia Creeper Trail - Middle School Trip!

WHEN: This Sunday, October 25th
DEPART: Right after Worship @ 11:00 a.m. PLEASE NOTE! We will load bikes between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. before Sunday School. Please do this!!

DINNER: We'll stop for fast food on the way home. So bring money!
BIKE? We will take our own bikes. Don't have one, ask a friend or let me know.
WHAT KIND OF BIKE: The trail is cinder, so bikes with road tires (skinny tires) won't work. But anything between that will be just fine.
OTHER: You might want water along the way. Make sure you bring a backpask if you need to carry it. I will ahve a backpack to carry a few if need be.
LENGTH: The trail sextion we are riding is about 1.5 hours depending how fast we go.
BACK HOME: We should be home around 9:00 p.m. Remember, no school the next day!
COST: The only money you need is for dinner on the way home. THAT'S IT!!

IMPORTANT!

"Chat, Chew, & View"

Last night we had well over 100 parents and youth combined for our "Chat, Chew, & View" event! We all enjoyed great conversation, ate dinner around the table, and had a special presentation in the sanctuary by our youth. Thanks to all who came out to hear about our youth trips this past summer.
