2025 Parish Bike Ride
Sts Constantine & Helen Parish 2nd Annual Community Bike Ride
We invite anyone in the parish, young and old, to join us in a day of bicycle riding and outdoor activity in Wisconsin's beautiful summertime. We are planning for a 14 mile ride from Waukesha to Wales on the Glacial Drumlin trail. The route is very safe and there is no car traffic on the bike trail. We encourage young and old to join! If you don't want to do the entire ride (7-miles out, and 7-mikes back) you could turn around at any time and return to the starting point. In the town of Wales we'll stop at a scenic local coffee shop called "Mama D's" for a rest break and a refreshment if you'd like. The ride back to the starting point is almost all slightly downhill which makes for a very pleasant experience. Following the ride itself we will regroup and drive over to Sobelman's restaurant only a few minutes away by car. There we can enjoy a meal and fellowship together.
