Biking for Bread Across America
California to Connecticut

BIKE FOR BREAD Across America departed from Stockton, California on June 24, 2000.  After a 37-day ride, Ray and the team arrived in Willimantic on July 30, 2000. 

The final miles of the ride provided the other riders the opportunity to join in the effort by participating in a "Community Ride".  The Community Ride allowed bicyclists to join Ray for the last 25, 16, 10, 5, or 2 miles of the Bike for Bread Across America's 3,087 mile trip. (See Day 37 - The Final Leg

The Community Ride concluded with a Welcome Home rally in Willimantic Connecticut that was attended by many local and State leaders.
