ALAMOSA — Dozens of service-oriented cyclists will take to the highways and byways of the United States this summer, riding over 3,600 miles with the Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure, coast-to-coast from San Francisco, CA (June 2) to Savannah, GA (August 5). The team will be staying at Alamosa Presbyterian Church on Thursday, arriving in the afternoon and leaving the following morning.

From the Golden Gate Bridge, the group of  28 cyclists will head east to summit the Sierra Nevadas, soak in the scenery at Lake Tahoe, pedal across the Great Basin to Salt Lake City, climb up and over the Rocky Mountains, and wind southward to Santa Fe, before continuing on a southern tier route to the Atlantic via Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Riders will complete an average of 75 miles per day, and will enjoy fully-supported group rest stops every 20 miles.

Riders can join for a day, a week or do the whole ride. Out of 28 riders, 15 will be going the whole way.
Now in its 10th year, the Bike Adventure is a ministry of The Fuller Center for Housing – a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization based in Americus, Ga., which is dedicated to building and renovating homes in partnership with those in need. The Fuller Center was launched in 2005 by Millard and Linda Fuller, who co-founded Habitat for Humanity in 1976. Today, the Fuller Center continues the Fullers’ vision for a grassroots, decentralized, and faith-based movement working to eliminate poverty housing worldwide.

The Bike Adventure has raised over $1.6 million in support of the Fuller Center since its founding in 2008.

All Bike Adventure riders will raise approximately $1 per mile, and will work alongside local Fuller Center Covenant Partners and homeowners at six build sites along the route. In every small town and big city along the way, the riders will proudly share and bear testament to the mission of the Fuller Center.
