Why are we doing
this???
We wanted to demonstrate to the
folks here in western North Carolina and the folks in
Washington that students from western North Carolina aren't
just looking for a hand out. We are willing and motivated to
dig down deep and work hard for something that is
worthwhile. The goal of a college education can seem as
daunting and far away as riding a bike across every mountain
and ridge top from here to Washington, D.C. but it is a goal
worth pursuing. In a sense this ride represents the same
struggle that many of the youth in western North Carolina
encounter when fulfilling the American dream of a college
education. And so, WE RIDE!
