May 31: Bike train to Bluegrass Sunday

Did you know? Bike Month (May) events in many counties around the state and nation sometimes include Bike to Worship rides—biking to churches, mosques, synagogues, and other houses of worship. Celebrate Bike Month by joining us on a Sunday ride in Monterey on May 31, 2026. Details below.

Missed the Easter pop-up ride? We’ve scheduled a bike train / social ride to same destination on May 31 for gospel bluegrass Sunday. If you’d like to meet up en route and bike there together, please PHONE us by 7pm on Friday, May 29 for bike train’s pick-up stations and departure times, or for other questions.

MAY 31, 2026 BIKE TRAIN DESTINATION: Solar-powered, bike-friendly (bike rack by sanctuary’s front door) First Presbyterian Church, 501 El Dorado, Monterey (https://fpcmonterey.org/, a Presbyterian Church USA congregation https://pcusa.org/about-pcusa/who-we-are/social-witness).

PREFER JUST CHURCH OF THE GREAT OUTDOORS? If you’d like to do the social ride but prefer to skip the church service, no problem. Just continue on with your day. Or, if you wish, you’re welcome to hang out in the Jay Bartow Memorial Garden during the service and stick around to enjoy coffee, tea, and snacks after the service. Note: Bike train is to 11am service. There’s a 9am service too, with refreshments also provided following that service.

All minors on this bike ride must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Everyone rides at their own risk, and those biking with us are to follow California bike laws, including helmet requirement for minors; helmets are encouraged for adults too.

ARCHIVED NOTE: Pop-Up (short notice) Easter Sunday bike train / social ride on April 5, 2026.
