Bikes in Church!

As the excitement from BRAN winds down, 8 of our cycling group are preparing for another multi-day ride, NUMB, scheduled for June 27 - July 1. "NUMB" stands for Nebraska United Methodist Bike Ride for Hunger and is currently going on it's 14th year. Participants gather pledges before the event, with a minimum of $100 required. These pledges go toward local, national and international hunger-related projects such as Heifer International and the Lincoln & Omaha Food Banks. A separate registration fee takes care of SAG support, supplies and other misc. items. The photo above shows Roger, Brad and Spencer participating in prayers offered by Pastor Larry Moffett at Lincoln's First United Methodist Church on Sunday, June 14. NUMB cyclists do not need to be Methodists. In fact, NUMB usually has a large contingent of Catholics and Lutherans every year. For more information, see http://www.numbride.org.
