Register online to join our Thanksgiving 6-mile Food Donation Bike Ride on Saturday Nov 18th, co-sponsored by BiCiCo, Hartford Bike Party, and Bike West Hartford! Our group bike ride is designed to be fun and open to all skill levels, rolling at a friendly pace of 10-12 mph, with no one left behind. Bring any bicycle in good condition, a bike helmet, water bottle, and money if you wish to buy a drink or snack at the end.
Bring non-perishable foods and funds (cash or check) to donate to The Place of Grace Food Pantry, 55 New Park Avenue, Hartford. If you write a check, make it payable to: Grace Episcopal Church, and in the memo line add: A Place of Grace.

- dried beans or peas
