Rain or Shine -We Ride! Please see instructions incase of rain the day of the event.

- The Ride for the Refuge is a rain or shine event. Your health and safety is of utmost concern for us.

- Please only ride if you are comfortable. The roads will likely be wet and it could be windy. If you are not comfortable riding in those conditions, feel free not to ride and enjoy the picnic, or ride the designated routes another day.

- While we will track severe storms and delay the start if there is lightning in the area, once you have departed Shades Beach, please exercise good judgment.

Again, if you choose not to ride for any reason, please join us for food and fellowship at the Riders Picnic at 10 am and as always thank you for pedaling with a purpose! Together, we really are making homelessness rare, brief and one-time in NW Pennsylvania!
