By charity!
I got an email the other day from the Centre Region Bike Coalition (CRBC) mailing list that requested donations of food and supplies for this group of people crossing the country. They are part of this organization called Bike and Build (www.bikeandbuild.org) that helps to raise money for housing across the country! They hold rides throughout the summer every year so I would be able to catch a ride or 2 or 3 
. This may just be the ride I do and just stay out West. I would be able to go on an assisted tour, do some good deeds along the way, and have a cool bike to keep afterwards hehe!
So check them out, sign up, and go ride!
