Fairmount Bicycles fundraising for Ride For Homes 2014

About Me

Last year I had the pleasure of being the bicycle mechanic on the first Ride for Homes. I assumed I was going to fix a bunch of flats and deal with mechanicals for 4 days. What I didn't know was this ride was going to give me an awesome experience with some truly amazing people and ride some beautiful roads. I cannot wait to do this again. Please join me riding if you can, and if you cannot ride please help me to reach my goal.

More Info

Habitat Philadelphia's 2nd annual Ride For Homes is hitting the road June 5 to 8, 2014! The four day round-trip ride raises critical dollars for Habitat's building projects, raises awareness for Habitat's work in Philadelphia, and takes our riders on a gorgeous, supported bike tour of the Pennsylvania countryside.  Total distance is approximately 250 miles, and the atmosphere is friendly, inclusive and non-competitive.  This year's Ride For Homes begins in Philadelphia and stops in Lititz, Gettysburg and Strasburg before returning home.  

The goal of the Ride For Homes is to raise $35,000 for Habitat Philadelphia's home construction and home repair projects, helping Habitat to continue providing critical affordable housing services to low-income families in the city.  By supporting a rider, you are helping them cover the costs of their ride and making a significant donation to Habitat.  Please donate today and help us reach our goal!
