WHY RIDE?

Certainly there must be easier--and perhaps more sane--ways to raise support for rebuilding a hospital than riding a bicycle 2,000 miles. Our interest, however, is not only to raise funds but also to raise awareness of Umri Christian Hospital's unique and enobling mission, to gather support for its opportunities, and to bring North American and Indian participants together in a shared concern.

ADVENTURE & SERVICE. Why ride a bike to accomplish this? If you were an avid cyclist, you would understand what an energizing adventure this represents. It's a once-in-a-lifetime challenge for most cyclists. Our dream is to combine this personal challenge with an international, humanitarian service mission.

ENGAGE THE CHALLENGE. We invite you to engage our ride with the spirit of adventure and outreaching service that has captured our imaginations.
