                           Gabe’s Riders

      Have you been thinking about dragging out that old bicycle you bought 10 years ago? Or maybe you’ve always wanted a bike but never quite pulled the trigger on purchasing one. Or are you just the kind of person that needs the encouragement of others to drag yourself out of bed for a little exercise? Maybe you’re just looking for some fun?
Then this group is for you! All skill levels of riders are invited.
​​​​​​​
      What is it about bicycles that makes a person feel like a kid again? There aren’t many better ways to enjoy the outdoors and get fit at the same time.
      Gabe’s Riders, our parish recreational bicycling group, is looking for some people who want to enjoy some sunny Saturday mornings with others on the Montour Trail, build up some stamina, and who knows, maybe lose a couple of pounds.  Later on they’ll make a once a month visit to other local trails. You can join us for every ride or for just one ride. Whatever suits you and your schedule.
 

UPDATE: The national health emergency forced us to cancel our group training rides but we will be doing our monthly rides beginning June 13. It's time to get out of the house and ride!!!
Please see the calendar below. Riders of all skill levels are welcome. Just ride at your own pace and distance. The group is large and diverse enough that you will not be riding on your own.

The monthly ride car caravan will leave the Holy Trinity Church parking lot at 10:00 to drive to the destination trail. All drive times are approximately 1 hour (though some may include a short stop for a quick bite when restrictions are lifted).
