"Blessing of the Bikes" dodges the raindrops

First Lutheran Church minister Rev. Chad Huebner blesses the bikes

It's summer!  So members of the First Lutheran Church and the Decorah Congregational UCC took to the bike trail on Sunday--even if it was with one eye on the clouds.

The two churches held a "Blessing of the Bikes (and other wheeled things)" Sunday afternoon at the entrance to Dug Road Trail, at the end of Main Street.

There was a short service and then everyone got on their bikes and headed to the trail.

A crowd of 30 people participated

Helmets were worn
