The Fuller Center for Housing
Next spring and summer the Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure (FCBA) will celebrate its fifth year of involving cyclists from all over the world to help provide families with energy-efficient and affordable homes. We're once again looking for cyclists from all over who are ready for a challenge and want to spend a part of their spring and/or summer on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. There are three routes for particapants to choose from, a one week spring break ride down the Natchez Trace Parkway, and two summer routes which will cover more than 3,600 miles and take riders down the scenic West Coast and historic East Coast. The cyclists will be serving as Fuller Center ambassadors as they build and renovate Fuller Center homes and speak to church groups, the media and civic organizations.
If you're interested in learning more about this, please contact Allen Slabaugh at 229-924-2900 or email aslabaugh@fullercenter.org. Possible bike dates are: March 9 - 17, May 25 - July 1st, or July 13 - Aug. 12.
