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 30 or 50-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 is so much more than just the ride.  Join us from 11AM to 3PM for family and pet friendly fun - music, food trucks, vendors, giveaways and more.  

​

Final Gravity Brewing in Lakeside is the area’s most bike-friendly brewery and is the 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, pet friendly event.
