MOB – Methodists On Bikes
May to October 2nd & 4th Wednesdays and Special Rides throughout the summer
All adults are invited to join this recreational bike riding group. The MOB will ride on the second and fourth Wednesdays (10-12 miles at a slower pace). Our Wednesday rides will always commence at the church parking lot at 6:30 PM.
Special Rides: Include rides on the Cardinal Greenway, a breakfast ride, and a ride on the Nickel Plate Trail (Kokomo to Peru), etc. An announcement will be sent to those interested when dates for special rides are set.
All rides need a Ride Leader, and MOB members take turns assuming this obligation. We must be careful not to rely on the same people to lead our rides, so please consider it your responsibility to volunteer to lead a ride If we do not have a Ride Leader, the ride will be cancelled. If a ride needs to be cancelled due to weather conditions, notification will be sent an hour prior to starting. Cancelled rides will not be rescheduled. Contact mob@stmarkscarmel.org with questions.
