Extreme Faith Fridays(EFF) will be held on the third Friday of every month at 7pm at Batavia Assembly of God; 24 North Spruce Street, Batavia NY. EFF is just a fun time of fellowship where we get together, eat pizza, play games, and do a quick devotion. Everyone is welcome!!

WNYMBA mountain bike swap meet:March 28, 2010 at the Main Transit fire hall in Williamsville, New York. We will have our booth set up again this year. Mountain  bikers from the area bring their extra bikes and parts and sell or trade them for other bike parts. Its a great way to catch up with the guys we haven’t seen since the racing season ended last year.

Racing: If you are interested in coming to a race with Ride to Recovery, contact us. We provide transportation, but seats are limited so let us know you want to come well in advance. We ask that you bring money for your race fee if you can afford it, but don’t let finances stop you from coming. Contact us and we’ll see what we can do to help you out. Racing is an extreme challenge, but the feeling that you get from finishing something you didn’t think you could is amazing! We will always try to  have a few of our older riders there to ride the course  to provide encouragement to the younger riders, and assist in the event of a mechanical problem.
