The Charlottesville Family Bike Club's first regional expedition was a big success! 14 kids and 14 parents enjoyed a leisurely 10-mile ride on Lynchburg's bike trail system (Percival's Island and Blackwater Creek Natural Area) on Mother's Day, followed by a group dinner at The Depot Grill.

No go home. More bike!
