Biking the Rail Trail this Sun., 10/26

Hey everyone,

 

This Sunday, 10/26, we will be meeting at the Rail Trail (https://www.traillink.com/trail/jacksonville-baldwin-rail-trail.aspx) to do some leisurely biking.  Let's meet at the Imeson Rd trailhead (directions below) at 1pm with the intention of getting on the trail at 1:30pm.  This will give us time to make any last minute adjustments on our bikes, put air in tires, etc.  We will ride for as long as the group decides to go (last time we went for 1 hr. out and 1 hr. back, with some breaks).  Some things you should bring with you:

 

Bike (please send a shout out if you have an extra bike or need a bike and we all will see how we can help)

Plenty of water

Hat

Sunscreen

Sunglasses

Bug repellent

Closed toe shoes

 

Directions to the Rail Trail:

 

To reach the Imeson Road trailhead from downtown Jacksonville, take I-10 west to Exit 356/I-295 North and head up I-295 to Exit 9/Commonwealth Avenue. Drive west on Commonwealth about 1 mile to Imeson Rd and turn right. The marked trailhead is on the left.

If you have any questions call Russ at (352) 359-0629 or Mike at (904) 755-8820.  We hope to see you on Sunday for a great day of fun and fellowship!

Emmaus This Thursday, October 16, Mass and Dinner

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This Thursday, October 6, we will be doing something a bit different for Mass. We will be going to St Joseph's Historic Catholic Church for Mass at 6pm. According to the website, there isn't Confession available before Mass, but always worth a shot if you arrive a few minutes early. St Joseph's Historic Catholic Church is located at 11730 Old St Augustine RD and is across the street from the main church, next to the Cody Enrichment Center. It is the small white building. Afterwards we will be going out to dinner somewhere near by.

We look forward to seeing you there,

Emmaus Core Team
