Come join us!
For 19 years we’ve enabled hundreds of new and experienced cyclists alike to tackle incredible adventures by bicycle, and we would love for you to join us.
Our rides are focused on serving God and each other as we raise money for families around the world, building and repairing homes through The Fuller Center for Housing. (Learn more about our mission.)
In the end we find that our own lives are changed through the experience of biking through America and the friendships we build for life.
Most of our events average between 45 – 75 miles per day, with riders joining for the whole way or any of the weeklong segments.
Our unique rides include Fuller Center volunteer days, daily devotionals, and an ethos of living simply — focusing on God and each other as we direct our resources to helping families have a decent home in which to live.
It all adds up to us focusing on building a strong community together. We have a support vehicle, but we also support each other. One of the best parts is connecting with so many wonderful churches who host us indoors each night — often enthusiastically feeding us better than we could feed ourselves!
The event is not a race, but an invitation to break from the routine of daily life and follow Jesus’s call to love and serve our neighbor, especially “the least of these,” as we help families have homes.
Thirty years from now, will we wish we spent more time in an office or more time out exploring beautiful countryside, getting our hands dirty for something meaningful and changing the world?
We love our support people! There’s no cost to come along in support roles such as driving support vehicles, taking pictures, making videos, etc. Support spots are limited per ride, so please start by using the Express Interest button to inquire about any particular ride.

2027 will be the 20th year of Fuller Center Bike Adventures – and we have some big ideas for how to commemorate the occasion!
As a throwback to our first ever cross-country ride, we will once again be riding from San Diego to Savannah. This route allows us to cross the country in only 8 weeks while keeping mileage reasonable and allowing several volunteer days. Best of all, it will bring the team through our home in Americus where we will take a day to celebrate the past two decades of Bike Adventures.
We’ll also be bringing back some of our other past favorite events as well as dreaming up new and exciting routes to explore. Along with that, we are setting our sights on the lofty goal of raising $1,000,000 in a single year!

Returning Favorites for 2027!
For 2027 we have supersized this perennial favorite ride to the Keys! There will be two week-long segments – one featuring the Florida Coast-to-Coast trail and 2 volunteer days, and the other holds a memorable finish riding through the Florida Keys into Key West. Pick your preferred segment, or ride the whole way!
Come join us as we take on a week of paved trail riding! The Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga Trails combined is one of the longest stretches of paved trails in the country. This trip includes 5 days of some of the best stress-free riding you’ll find anywhere: minimal traffic, shaded tree-lined trails, and southern hospitality that can’t be beat!
There’s a a reason we return each year to ride this historic road! Not only is it one of America’s best biking roads, but our hosts along the way have perfected the art of southern hospitality. Really, about the only things lacking on the Trace are stoplights and big commercial trucks! Come join us in 2027 and see what this route is all about!
New for 2027!
Come join us as we take 9 days of northern roads and trails! The Paul Bunyan, Lake Wobegon and Heartland Trails combined make up just over 250 miles of this adventure as you roll through scenic valleys and lakeside forests! The trip starts and ends at Detroit Lakes, MN where there will be a volunteer day with our local Fuller Center partner.
A 2-week long looping route which takes in some of the best roads and trails in the Rockies. You’ll have eleven days on the bike and 2 optional days of hiking to explore Colorado’s high country. Mid-way through we’ll have a volunteer day with our Fuller Center partner in Cedaredge – helping to improve living conditions along side a family in the community.
