...Riding my bike for affordable housing that is!

That's right everyone, I'm at it again. This summer I will leading a 2 week Bike & Build trip from Richmond, VA to Philadelphia, PA (the capital ride!) While this trip is significantly shorter than my Providence to San Francisco adventures, the structure of the ride is essentially the same. We will be raising funds and awareness for the affordable housing cause and stopping 4 times along the way to assist in local affordable housinng projects!

In order to participate each rider has fundraise a minimum of $1,700.00. If you are able to contribute in any way I would greatly appreciate your help!

Much love!
