  St. Luke's 10th Annual Loop the Lake Bicycle Ride for Charity, Saturday, July 14th

begins in Lakewood with registration at 8:30 am

bike rideThis is an event that every member of St. Luke's can participate in. If you have never ridden the lake before but are interested in trying, now is your chance! Pick a loop that fits you and enjoy. Try the smaller loop of the lower half of the lake with a ferry crossing. Or even catch riders as they return through Celoron and finish the ride with them into Lakewood. We live in such a beautiful area and there is no better way to see the landscape than on a bike!
 

Registration is at 8:30 am and the ride begins at 9:00 am.

The ride will begin and end at 68 E Terrace Ave, Lakewood NY. 

There will be rest stops and refreshments along the ride, and riders will be served a free lunch after the ride. There is no cost to the ride, but riders are asked to get sponsors. There is no minimum to ride. Money and forms can be turned in before the ride (preferred), or sent in no later than July 21.

  

We are looking for volunteers to help with registration, refreshments, road support and the lunch after the ride. Another way you can get involved is by sponsoring a rider. Please consider participating in "Loop the Lake" in some way.

 

 

This is a recreational ride around Chautauqua Lake to benefit the Episcopal Partnership for Mission and Outreach (formerly known as ECS).  This is the charitable arm of the Diocese of Western New York and provides assistance to the most vulnerable children and adults in Western New York through eighteen member agencies, including Chautauqua Rural Ministries in Dunkirk.

 

Please contact Priscilla or Dave Menzies at 716-763-4331.
