Drive our support van: We always need someone to come along to drive our van and trailer. That’s right, all the adventure with no biking! No registration fee or fundraising requirement. Interested? Read this job description and contact us!
Drive your own vehicle along with us, or let our volunteers use your car while you ride.
We love having a second vehicle along to help provide rest stops and run errands. It’s a tremendous help to have extra support out there on the road; whether it’s an extra snack, a ride in a rainstorm, or just an extra word of encouragement for a tired rider, it makes a huge difference on a journey like this.
Strong preference is for vehicles than can be there for the duration of an entire ride rather than for a portion of it.
Depending upon our support situation for a particular ride, we also can sometimes offer fundraising credit and help covering the gas expenses.
Interested? Contact us!
Are you looking to make a difference, be part of a team, and have the coolest work experience to share in your next interview?
We have internship opportunities for photography and social media, video, and for logistics.
This is a great way to be part of the adventure without the need to bike or fundraise. It’s also a great way for your friend or relative to join.
More details and job descriptions are on our internship page.
If you live along the route, or have close contact with someone along the way, consider planning an event while the Bicycle Adventure is in town.
Whether hosting us for dinner, inviting us to speak at your church or civic club, getting a bunch of riders together to gain sponsorships, bringing out the media or just joining us as we come through town, you can help us make the most of our time on the road this summer … and we’d really love to meet you!
Please check our ride schedule first and contact us for approval before planning your event.
If you’re connected with a cycling club, you can really be of help to us.
- Let the other members know about the different ways they can be part of the ride.
- Come as a team to join us for a day, a segment or even the whole adventure.
- Even simply helping us choose the best route through your area is a tremendously useful service.
Ways to Donate
Our team goal this year is to raise $450,000, which would bring the total raised by FCBA to over 4.3 million dollars – but we won’t be able to do it without your help! You can choose to support one of the of riders, or donate in honor of the entire team. Keep in mind that the money is not about the cyclists – the funds we raise go to support the more than 80 ongoing Fuller Center projects around the world and their goal to end poverty housing. Join us in our quest for affordable housing. Give now.
Our corporate partners play an important role in supporting this trip, and in return we offer publicity across several states and a means of spreading goodwill in the community. Different sponsorship levels may include your company’s logo on the official bike jersey, the support trailer and even our printed promotional materials.
Here’s a list of a few things that we need to make this ride happen. Let us know if you might be able to help us out with any of them – the less we spend on these needs, the more we can spend helping those in need of a simple, decent place to live!
- Tires and Tubes: to fix flats for standard sized road bikes (700×23-25)
- Hydration: Gatorade or other electrolyte beverage powder mix
- Biker Fuel: Grocery store gift cards for national chains, Honey, Coffee, Cliff Bars, Energy Gel, etc.
