    Mariday Park Snakes

    by Cindy, over 2 years ago

    The Mariday Snakes Bike Club was established early in May 2020 to lift our spirits during the pandemic! Every night after dinner, we meet as neighbors and cruise through the streets of Mariday Park! Every night a different “snake” gets to lead the group around our neighborhood! We have had many new members join the group over the past couple of weeks and we love when we can include all anyone and everyone who want to participate!!! Despite the Global Pandemic, we as a group are enjoying staying active and getting to know our neighbours! ❤️
