Congregations, riders, families and friends raised $60,009!
Thirty-two cyclists rode again in 2021 for the protein needs of the hungry in Redwoods Presbytery and beyond. Returning from the Covid-19 hiatus of 2020, the riders pedaled from one to six days over a route starting and ending in Occidental. The loop included stops in Pt. Reyes, Novato, Sonoma, St. Helena and Cloverdale. The riders experienced some challenging climbs, redwood forests and spectacular ocean views along the way. The ride concluded on Saturday, September 25th with a one-day ride and lunch at Knox PC. Because of its success during the hiatus of 2020, the Home-Spin Edition was again offered for those who preferred to pedal their stationary bikes.
