Nice to see the youth bike ride tying everything together from Ruba to Luzhesno. The timing with Peter and Fevronia’s feast and the start of the church new year makes a lot of sense. Our parish could use an idea like that next summer.

That's a great idea, Matthew. Our youth group here already does a short family hike each spring, but swapping it for a bike route next summer could pull in more teens who aren't big walkers. Have you thought about how far a ride like that would need to be to keep it fun but not exhausting for the younger ones?

What a good idea about the veloprobeg joining Ruba with Lujesno just on the day of Saint Peter and Fevronia. My granddaughters would love something like this in the summer, although here in Valencia we would have to shorten it quite a bit so they don't get tired. How many kilometers did the boys travel?

It’s a good thing that young people rode bicycles from Ruba to Luzhesno on the day of Peter and Fevronia. Here in Rostov, too, sometimes after service they go to the Don to go fishing, and here families are also united. How many kilometers did the guys drive, did they not write?
