Cyclists from all around the country pedaled into Utah County last Thursday to help Habitat for Humanity of Utah County roof and install blocking at a home currently being built with the Brandon family in Pleasant Grove.
The cyclists are part of the national Bike and Build program and are riding their bikes across the country to raise funding and awareness to end poverty housing. The 30 young adults started their long journey in Charleston, South Carolina in May and will log over 4,000 miles before they reach their destination of Santa Cruz, California in mid- August. The cyclists stayed at the Provo Seventh Day Adventist Church while in Utah County.
Thanks to the Church for hosting the riders and to Mad Dog Cycles for sponsoring lunch and supporting the riders with their repair and maintenance needs. Habitat would also like to thank the Brandon family, members of the Habitat Board of Directors, and Provo restaurant, Station 22, for providing meals for the cycling participants.
