Ride for Hunger

Join us on Saturday, November 1st for a Ride for Hunger to benefit Open Door Ministries.

Open Door Ministries is a non-profit organization based in High Point, North Carolina. Open Door Ministries provide help for those in need, whether through their emergency services help, through their Father’s Table Food Kitchen, or through the Open Door Shelter, an emergency shelter for men.

Registration costs $15 and a minimum of two cans of food or other non perishable food items. We will meet in the parking lot of Golden Corral in High Point, outside of Oak Hollow Mall. Registration will begin at 8:00am and the ride will start at 9:00am. You will have your choice of a 30 or 60 mile route. Both routes are mainly flat with an exception of a few slight hills. After the ride, you can enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at Golden Corral. You will receive your meal ticket when you register before the ride. This includes buffet lunch, drink, and tip. Present your ticket to the cashier.

This Is Why We Ride - Post Labor Day Ride Thoughts

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Manilla Dean. She is the food director of the West End Food Ministries, a community-serving arm of English Road Baptist Church in High Point. For those of you participated in the VeloProject / Spinergy Labor Day ride, we asked that you contribute 2 cans of food which were then donated to West End.

Manilla had never heard of VeloProject or Spinergy. All she knew was that a caring group of bicyclists thought enough of their community and less-advantaged people to try and make a difference. I delivered 3 shopping carts full of canned goods along with another $150 in cash donations. Manilla was at once thankful, emotional and deeply grateful. Thursday is food distribution day at West End and the shelves were nearly bare. Later today, entire families will arrive in the hopes of getting enough food for the next week. Thanks to our efforts, they will.

In the end, it’s not about race teams or matching uniforms or even riding a bike. The West End benefit idea was first floated at a VeloProject board meeting. A date was picked, a route was planned and a bunch of bike riders chose to help those in need. And we did — and will — do it again.

To each of you who played a part in this, I offer a “virtual” hug of thanks….just like the one Manilla gave to me after she saw how much food was in the back of my car. It was as wonderful a feeling as you can imagine.
