Save the date!

Summer’s around the corner, and we’re excited to announce the 15th annual Bike Shenandoah! Will you join us? Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 22, 2012.

Start biking now with a friend or family member, and come to challenge yourself or just have a good time for 5, 15, 30, 62, or 100 miles on two wheels in the Shenandoah Valley. While you do, you’ll raise funds for the Northend Greenway, MennoMedia, Mennonite Central Committee, and Virginia Mennonite Missions.

You’ll be in good company on rides designed for both the seasoned cyclist and first-time rider of any age. Last year, we had 5-year old riders, and riders seven decades older. We hope you’ll join the fun this year!

Look around this website for more information, and come back to save your spot when registration opens this summer. Don’t miss out!

Details Set for 15th Annual Bike Shenandoah

The date for Bike Shenandoah 2012 has been set for September 22, 2012. The 15th annual ride will again feature five course distances — 100, 62, 30, 15, and 5 mile — for everyone, from the seasoned cyclist to the casual rider. This year’s event will support four locally-based agencies:  Northend Greenway, Virginia Mennonite Missions, MennoMedia, and Mennonite Central Committee.

The ride will tour through the Shenandoah Valley and be fully supported, with rest stops sponsored by local Mennonite churches. We hear there may even be some of the famous pecan bars and chicken salad…

Mark your calendars!

Thirteenth annual ride a success

The 13th annual Bike Shenandoah on September 18, 2010 was another success. The fall morning was characteristically clear and crisp, riders enjoyed themselves, and over $12,000 was raised for local, regional, national, and global Mennonite ministries.

Expect some changes coming for next year’s ride, tentatively scheduled for September 17, 2011. We’re working to improve the Bike Shenandoah experience!
