Balaios, Falcþes de Aço, Cruz de Ferro and dozens more, as well as the presence of the largest motorcycle media representatives in Brazil such as Moto Adventure Magazine Website, Motocycle Journal and Entusiasta-Virtual Media.

Penedo is a colony that emerged favoring the Nordic lifestyle, vegetarian presenting one in the natural style, with freedom, preservation, love and respect for nature and with religious principles always united. Tourists were attracted not only by the Finnish presence, but also by the possibility of nature contemplation, next to the mountains and the neighboring Itatiaia National Park, created in 1937.

Penedo is a neighborhood and ecological park in the municipality of Itatiaia, located in the southern region of the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. It is the main Finnish colony of Brazil. Penedo's magic is in the streets, shops with references to

the elementals of nature, in the people who always welcome everyone with great joy. Toivo Uuskallio, the founder and founder of Penedo's Finnish Colony, has a story in his book "On the Journey Towards the Magic of the Tropics", where he says he received a superior call to leave his homeland and emigrate to the South. far away. The call was too strong. And so in mid-1927 he embarked for Brazil and founded Penedo, hippie colony, alternative style, a natural revolution at the time for this region and the BR. A super vibe peace and love!

And in our time some of the main pillars of Penedo Hill remain strong, such as respect for nature, vegetarianism and freedom always on the agenda in our now.

Freedom lived in many forms, as in motorcycling that always has Penedo as a reference of major events. And religiosity also manifests itself in motorcycling, with Christian clubs like the Christian Crusaders and Missionaries MCC. They held a beautiful 100% original, classic, Old School biker event that brought together many legendary clubs of traditional Brazilian motorcycling such as Balaios, Cruz de Ferro and many others in great harmony and joy. Success that delighted and surprised the organizers who had in this event the first experience in holding an event open to all riders. The event was held at the City Park Hotel, which is owned

by Antonio Ribeiro, who is also a member of Christian Crusaders. The three-star hotel is becoming a fine reference for motorcyclists and it has hosted other clubs such as Balaios, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Of course, veganism is still present in Penedo and growing all over the planet. In Penedo we find Petit Goumet (https://www.facebook.com/petitgourmetpenedo), family restaurant, with its founder, Octavio, which started with vegetarians, in the past with little customer demand, started to serve a menu with traditional dishes. but without losing its vegan vegetarian side. The restaurant produces much of the food served, such as vegetables, fruits and vegetables, all organic: “The restaurant

was founded in 2011. We have always had vegetarian and vegan options. We sell our amazing basil olive oil and chimi churri sauce. Our food is very handcrafted, all made here, such as tomato sauce, roasted ground banana puree, gnocchi nhame, passion fruit crumbs. Our basil foccacia made with Italian flour 00. Great food, great service, great choice for vegetarians and vegans and for those who want healthy eating.

The 1st Riders to Cross Penedo has achieved its main goal, which is to bring together representatives of classic motorcycling of various flags and ideologies in the same space in peace and love for a two-wheeled lifestyle: “our goal is to show that a club can exist extremely traditional being a christian. For this was the first Christian event in Brazil that brought together the legends of motorcycling and the strongest coats of arms in our history. We have achieved our goal of demonstrating the seriousness of our group is the respect we give and receive from traditional clubs. In the United States the club celebrated its 40th anniversary at an open party. Every 10 years we have an open party. And every year, at the end of July, we hold the world meeting in Whashington, USA, where all the chapters in the world meet, ”explains Christian Crusaders.

“The main object of our gathering together is to spread the word of God. I have been in ministry for almost 4 years, we are a Christian club with the goal of reaching rescue to the honor and glory of the Lord Jesus but we follow some fellowship motorcycle club administrative rules. We follow the Christian Bible, but we do not belong to any church, we have members of all denominations in our club. We really believe in the love of Jesus Christ for humanity and we work on it.

We do not condemn, criticize and judge anyone. We cannot entice anyone to belong to the ministry we cannot invite anyone to participate in the ministry, because we understand that to participate in this ministry one has to feel, one has

to be aware of God's call, so if one wants to join the ministry it is she and God, she is welcome!

Women are not shielded at Christian Crusaders in the first place for safety, because we go to many places that would not be suitable for women, we visit some darker, more dangerous places. But the woman in God's word says she is her husband's partner and that does not put her in an inferior position, on the contrary, it is written in the Bible that she is equal to equal. We couldn't walk down the street without being covered by our wife's prayer, without you having your house organized. The wives of the members in our ministry are always with us. The word of God obliges us and instructs it to be treated equally, to be done by mutual agreement, but the final word is from man. The fact that we do not protect women is also by tradition and greater respect in the environment so we can be more open to preaching the gospel, �Antonio Ribeiro, City Park Hotel and Christian Crusaders.

Club members are always on the road on long missions aboard motorcycles. Many American members are always traveling around Brazil: “We take long trips. We ride practically in the regions in which we are located. We like to ride where we are well received. For sure what American bikers like in Brazil is kkkkk barbecue, ”says Chistian Crusaders.

“For me it all started with gratitude to have been invited to an atypical event that brought together faith, brotherhood, equality, consideration among others. I think the highlight was "respect" because the harmony among the participants regardless of class, color or creed was total. Another highlight is that the event was able to gather a significant number of brothers of the old, says Cal Moto, 28 years on the road and passion for motorcycling, founder of Moto Club Nóis na Pista de Pirapetinga-MG.

“This event was able to rescue the dinosaurs of national motorcycle club. Bufalos, Balaios, Hells Angels, Crus de Ferro, Gangster and other Old School. Really getting these clubs together in one event is not easy. The event went far beyond what was expected, everything worked perfectly and the goal achieved. Congratulations to
