CYCLING MINISTRY UPDATE (By: Eddie
Anderson) |
The cycling ministry got off to a
fantastic start on Sunday afternoon, October 21st with our
first scheduled event. With the support of Kevin Hill and
the NTX IC3, 14 riders participated in the fellowship ride
that left FBC around 2:15pm. The ride covered almost 12
miles in just a little over an hour of riding time.
The group included riders from several different area
churches and varied riding skills. Special recognition goes
to our only female participant. Way to go Lindsay! We will
work on getting more ladies out in the future.
In addition to road biking, there were two other riders who
met at Erwin Park to participate in mountain biking. Thanks
to Chris Blair for leading that ride. That brings our total
participants to 16 for our first event and I believe Kevin
said that was the most there had been for any NTX IC3 event
to date. There was a lot of good fellowship during and after
the ride as some riders stayed in the church parking lot
talking until around 4:30pm. What an exciting way to get
things started! Thanks to everyone who came out to
participate and make this a success.
The next event hosted by the First Baptist McKinney
Cycling Ministry will be in November. This will be a
Saturday morning ride and will be either on Nov 3 or Nov 10.
This ride will be a longer distance, faster paced ride for
the more hard core riders but will still be slow enough to
have some quality fellowship time. Details on upcoming
events will be posted on the NTX IC3 web site and you can
get there through the link on the Cyclingministry page and
we will also be sending out email updates so make sure we
have your correct email address.
