West Point to Cusetta

Our ride today took us through the winding roads and rolling hills of western Georgia, the official training route of Chris Cosby. With a complete motorcade of Tony driving our truck, Mary his wife driving their motor home, we were a sight to behold. Passing some of the local Fuller Center houses on the way out of town, we then turned on to the hilly and creatively named Lickskillet Rd. While riding through Columbus, GA we were apprehended by the local television reporters who were thrilled to get some action shots of us on the road. Compliments to Kirk Lyman-Barner (the generous man who loaned us his truck) and his son Levi for completing their first day of riding with us…OYEEE!!!! Furthermore, congratulations to the Merchant family for completing another tough day of riding and contributing to the team’s upbeat spirit.

Thank you to Carol Greer, the President of the Fuller Center in Cusseta, GA for generously hosting us in her mother’s home, and for providing us with food and a place to rest our weary heads.

As I conclude my last official Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure blog, I would like to speak on behalf of the entire group in saying that we will miss this adventure. For the past 7 ½ weeks we have truly become like a family working though numerous difficulties together, and relying on one-another to keep riding day after day. Each rider lends a unique aspect to the team and serves to enlarge our cohesive “family.” Though we were but complete strangers eight weeks ago, we now possess a common single fiber, an instinctive desire to wake up early, hit the road, stop and meet loving people, and build homes for those in need.
