My name is Ryan Donovan and am the Director of the Grace and Truth Cycling Club here at First Bible Baptist Church. I have been attending FBBC since September 1995, and have been riding with the G&T Cycling Club since the 2002 season. Many of you already know me, but for those who do not, I look forward to meeting you on our Monday evening rides or one of the other events through the season.

We will start our weekly Monday night rides on April 12, 2010 (weather permitting)

Clean out the garage, get your bike down from the rafters and tuned up, SPRING IS HERE!

PLEASE tune up your bike BEFORE we ride and make sure you have some spare tubes. Better yet, just bring your equipment down to the friendly folks at the Bike Zone on Long Pond Road

Here a a few brief highlights of upcoming rides and events that we may get involved in as a group or you may want to know about on your own:

Monday evening rides departing at 5:45 pm SHARP. Ride for approximately 2 hours with an "ice cream social" and a short tip time/devotional thought for the return loop. We will try and visit most of the ice cream shops on the west side of the county throughout the season. Make sure you bring a few dollars and splurge on the sprinkles!
