This year’s Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure already is the most successful ever in terms of money raised — more than $285,000 so far in 2016 — and in terms of participation as so many cyclists signed up that there are actually two packs of cyclists making the 3,500-mile journey from Seattle to Washington, D.C.
The two groups — the Orange Ride and the Blue Ride — are now just a day apart after the Blue Ride started a week later. Both teams will conclude their journeys together on Saturday with a 40-mile ride from Leesburg, Va., to our nation’s capital.
The Wheeling News-Register caught up with some of our cyclists on Monday as they arrived in Wheeling, West Virginia.
