Bike Out Hunger

Several of you have asked when the 2013 Bike Out Hunger ride will be. The dates we have settled on are Monday, April 22, 2013 – Saturday, April 27, 2013.

The tentative route is Houston to Waco to Athens to Tyler and ending in Dallas. As we did this year, we will have a group leaving from Dallas on Sunday, April 21, 2013 for our determined starting point and we’ll end mid-day on Saturday, April 27.

I’ve had a challenge to increase the number of participants to 100, so get to recruiting and let me know how I can help you help the cause.

Put the ride and the online registration date on your calendar.  And e-mail or contact me in any way with your questions.

Registration open on May 30.

As I continue to mull over the instances of the past week I am continually reminded of each of you, our efforts and our cause. The week was amazing and filled with accomplishments and events I’ll never forget including meeting children that your efforts help, to having a homeless man ride with us in Fort Worth.

I and those you help thank you for riding in Bike Out Hunger. Next year’s dates and route will be announced within a couple of weeks. So keep hitting this site and I’m continuing posts on riding tips and ways to help people in your area of the world break the cycle of hunger.
