One month and counting! Cycle of Service launches on April 20th. I am looking forward to riding with our team as we cycle across the heart of Alabama. On Day 1 we will start in Cuba, AL. and ride to the MS state line, about 2 miles. After taking a few fun photos, we will turn around and traversing most of HW 80 East, head to Selma. Along the way we will stop in Bellamy, Demopolis, and Union Town before our day’s destination.

Why are we riding 86 miles on April 20th and totaling 245 miles by Day 3? So we can serve families like Ms. Morris. Ms. Morris lost her husband about this time last year. Mostly using a motorized scooter for mobility she has a difficult time walking. With the death of her husband, she now lives alone. Because her husband was a veteran of the US Navy, they qualified for a grant to repair their home, a large craftsman style house built in the early 1940’s. Several mission teams and “co-laborers” have come out to serve with her. To date we have re-roofed her home, built a much needed wheelchair ramp, and had to replace the joists in her kitchen and rebuild the floor. Our next step is wrapping up with a handicap accessible shower, cabinets and counter-tops. Ms. Morris especially loves all of the groups coming to serve with her, pray with her and share a Christ centered devotional thought. It means so much to now only have her home repaired, but to restore her hope in a caring community!

That is why we ride and why it means so much!

Remember, there are several ways to ride and registration is open until April 9th.
1) Journey across Alabama from April 20-22. A shuttle is provided from Auburn to West Alabama and back to Auburn from our end point in Phenix City. Total distance is 245 miles.
2) Ride virtually on a stationary or spin bike, or on your bike in your community. See how many miles you can rack up as close to 245 by May 22nd.
