SUMMARY:BHC Bike Tour & Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:Richmond’s East End is on the rise. Since BHC began its work in the neighborhood 20 years ago\, much has changed.

Get a sneak peak at BHC’s latest development underconstruction as well as other community ventures creating opportunities for residents. \nThe tour will depart from the corner of R St. and N 28th St. at 6 p.m.\, and return to the Somanath Senior Apartments for a roof-top networking happy hour at 7 p.m.; light refreshments will be provided. This event is free\, but registration is required. Participants are invited to park at Good Shepherd Baptist Church’s Q St. Lot between 28th and 29th St. \nThanks to our partner\, Bike Walk RVA\, a limited number of bikes from Richmond Rides are available for your use!
