In two months, we will be cycling across Alabama! I am so excited and looking forward to our 9th Annual ride. Also coming up quick is the “spin class” competition between Moore’s Mill Gym and the Opelika Sports Plex! Moore’s Mill has current bragging rights so who will it be. Stay tuned as we may have a few more gyms signed up by next Thursday, March 1st when we kick off.

The registration page and form have all of the options for riding. Meaning, there are not separate registrations forms. If you are registering for the spin/stationary bike/riding in your community option, you will check that on the registration page. It is the $35 option.

As a refresher, you can join us for the 2.5 day/245 mile ride April 20-22.

On Saturday, April 21st, there is a one day century option from Selma to Tuskegee. Yes, this is a little tricky as you must arrange for your drop-off in Selma and pickup in Tuskegee. However, we can help give some thoughts about that.

Registration is now open. Once registered, you will be sent a link to set up your peer-to-peer fundraising page if you are helping us with the fundraising.

And why are we riding across Alabama? It is our way of helping transform communities for God’s glory by creating sustainable homes and strengthening families. Proceeds from the ride help us repair and restore homes making them warm, safe, dry and beautiful! This allows us to extend God’s love with some awesome people surviving on very small incomes making vital repairs nearly impossible. With God’s and your help, we make it possible!

The weather is getting warmer so get out there and start training! And if you are a spinner, you get to launch next Thursday, March 1st!

Another unusually warm weekend in February and time to take advantage again of logging some miles. This ride is so intense, that we maintain a handful that cycle the full 300 miles. It means we develop a very close knit group that challenges and encourages. That team is ever expanding and maybe this year, it includes  you! We hope you will join us for all three days or the Sunday Century. April 23rd, our last leg is open to other cyclists who want to get in a century. You can register at Active.com or on the Registration page of our website. Whatever option you choose, you will be helping us cycle and improve housing for several families in Alabama. Enjoy the rest of this week and let us know how you are getting those miles in!

And for some extra fun, here is quick video from Bicycling on keeping  your bike clean. Enjoy!

Keep riding!
