THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

The 20th Annual Covington Century Bike Ride on Saturday August 2nd 2008 was a huge success! Click here to see Professional Photographer Kent Ruby's Photos of the event! Once again, Project Adventure Kids was the host of this fast 30, 50, 80, and 100 mile ride through the communities of Newborn, Rutledge, Social Circle, Mansfield, Monticello & Madison. The 1,100+ cyclists came from all over the state of Georgia to enjoy ride and see the friendly PAK kids at each rest stop and attend the delicious spaghetti dinner after the ride! All proceeds benefitted Project Adventure Kids.

**First Time - Leading the cyclists for the first time ever in the history of the ride, was "Team Adventure", 40 youth and staff from Project Adventure Kids (PAK). In the past 19 years, the kids have always just worked the rest stops at the ride. This year, thanks to many volunteers, the kids were able to experience the sport and sense the pride of finishing a ride. The Atlanta and Covington cycle teams pulled together to teach these kids a healthy hobby that the kids can carry with them into their adult lives. Read more (click here)

Many thanks goes out to the 1,100+ cyclists, our partners in cycling – the Covington Conyers Cycling Club (C-4), the sponsors, and all of the great volunteers. It was an amazing day not just for the kids riding in their first ride but also for all of the 1,100+ cyclists who realized they were there not only to enjoy a great ride but also to make a difference in these PAK kid's lives!
