Bishop’s Big Bike Ride Day 4

If you’re following the Bishop’s Big Bike Ride you’ll know that we’re more than halfway there and now on Day 4. Wednesday 16 March takes us into the heart of Newry and Mourne to the southernmost and highest points in the diocese. We depart from Rathfriland and finish in Castlewellan, visiting 9 parishes in total. 

Details of the route at this linkCome and cheer us on as we cycle to raise awareness of the Down and Dromore Lent Appeal with Bishop’s Appeal. 

About

Bishop David and a small, ever–changing group of cyclists is making 83 stops over 6 Days covering approximately 350 Miles, all in support of two projects in partnership with Bishops’ Appeal, Christian Aid and Tearfund. Read about the projects here.

The bishop will cycle into every parish in the diocese and hopes to meet many more of you along the route. Please note that we cannot take cash donations along the way – see below for how to give. 

How to give

Please listen out in your parish for ways to give, and if you would like to give as an individual during Lent, please indicate that you are giving to the Down and Dromore Lent Appeal.
