June 16, 2026 Event:
Sussex Cyclists Bike members were out in force at the Epworth Church Bike Event as we helped over 30 J-1 Students and local residents with equipment and repairs. The weather was perfect and we created some new friends as well. Ten more events to go and your help is absolutely appreciated!
