Ride for Refugees- Sat. Aug. 20th
Chose either an easy 10 mile or more challenging 30 mile bike ride. Early Bird price good through June 1st.
After a COVID hiatus, the Reform Ride is back by popular demand, & is now called the Kitsap Ride for Refugees! We are so excited to be able to once again partner with Lutheran Community Services Northwest to bring back this great event for summer 2022. All proceeds go toward LCS Northwest and their refugee resettlement efforts.
Participants can choose between a 10- or 30-mile out-and-back course through beautiful Kitsap County, starting and ending at Silverdale Lutheran Church. This is an untimed, supported bike ride (not a race). Roads will still be open to vehicles and participants may need to stop at intersections.
