6th Annual GO FORWARD TOGETHER Ride & Forward Fest

6th Annual GO FORWARD TOGETHER Ride & Forward Fest taking place on Saturday, October 4th, at Final Gravity Brewing Company.

Check-in begins 7:45AM • Race begins 8:30AM • Course Support ends 1:30PM • Forward Fest continues until 3pm.

Join us for the end-of-cycling-season finale that embraces all aspects of cycling culture, bringing area cyclists together to assist the organization that assists single parents in Central Virginia.

The 50-mile or 30-Mile ride will start and finish at Final Gravity Brewing Co., located at 6118 Lakeside Avenue in Richmond.  The route will take cyclists from Lakeside, through the beautiful Ashland, Virginia-area countryside with a rest stop in downtown Ashland.  

Not participating in the ride? No problem!  Forward Fest, our post ride event, offers something for the entire family to enjoy and is children and pet friendly. This event is open to the public and has become as much fun as the ride itself offering live music, food trucks, axe throwing, vendors, outdoor games, kids crafts, giveaways, and so much more!

Final Gravity Brewing in Lakeside is the area’s most bike-friendly brewery and is the official site of two organized rides every Sunday.  Once again, they will be brewing the official beer of the Go Forward Together Ride - the Go Forward Pilsner - with a portion of the proceeds going directly to the Forward Foundation.  And for those moved by the spirit of community engagement but not partaking in spirits, non-alcoholic options are available at this family-friendly event.
