Side effects may include sweating, euphoria and general awesomeness!!!!!!

Our B.E. team is Live.

We had our first training session in the 2015 FUNd raising series. Outside of our comfort zone, we were collectively challenging our limits.

The learning from our outing:
- We all all less fit than we think we are.
- We are all more enthusiastic than we thought.


Let's make like a wheel and roll!

The Bike park has several trails, between all of us, we did green and some blue (beginner and intermediate) routes.  We enjoyed the winter sun, an improvised picnic and some of us were really stiff on Monday.

Pretty Tyred....


Safety tips for cycling off road:

a. Do not use your feet to stop, rather use the breaks (this will keep ankles safe).
b. The bikes have gears, and knowing how to use them can save us from a big fall as well as save us energy and effort.
c. Do not be afraid of falling. Rather learn to fall safely.

We missed some of our team members, but were joined by B.E Friends who share our dire physical condition and our excess of confidence!!!

Coming up next: SPIN-A-THON
              

Watch this space and join us for the most epic spinning B.E. has ever seen. 

B.E. LIVE The fun is ON.

A Sunday Roll: Welcome BE Team and friends.

The time to get onto the saddles is here. Sunday at 8AM, we are meeting at the Bike Park.
You can bring your bike or you can rent a bike on site.
The trails are children friendly and for those of us who are not  doing Sani to Sea any time soon, this is a good starting point.

Here are directions to the park: http://bikepark.co.za/find-us




Remember to bring your helmets and your bikes if at all possible, so we keep it low key.

If you have any questions, or need anything in order to get there, do let me know, I will do as much as I can to ensure that we all get there and enjoy the crispy morning riding in the natural trails of the park.

Let's go ride a bike!

Beit Emanuel, a vibrant community of faith, has opened a new space for all members and friends to get involved, learn about the practicalities of running and maintaining a strong organisation, and the challenges that one institution of this nature faces on a day to day basis.

 FUN RACING is our opportunity to have fun while we help, bond and obviously Fund-raise.

Our first try at this will be the 94.7 cycle challenge and mountain challenge.

So far we have a team of 7 athletes and athletes-to-be which includes our leader, Rabbi Shaked.

Some of us are seasoned cyclists, some of us are really rusty, some of us are going to learn how to ride a bike... Watch this space for interesting updates and if you are up for the challenge, join us for the grittiest race in town!!!
