Cycle for Shelter Lunch

If you have family or friends who wish to join you at the finish line to enjoy our special lunch, have them RSVP to Rachel at rachel@emmausinc.org.

We'd also love to have Emmaus supporters cheering on our riders on the route. The three rides pass through a number of local communities. Please go to the routes posted on the right bottom part of our webpage to see if you know someone who can do this. A homemade sign of encouragement will give the riders such a boost as they "Cycle for Shelter".
