Twenty-seven bicyclists from all walks of life pedaled their way into Winters on Monday afternoon as part of a 4,000-mile journey of a lifetime.

Known as the Texas 4000, the event includes 44 athletes with a passion for people as well as for cycling. No ordinary bike ride, this trek is a fundraiser for cancer research. According to the group’s Web site, each cyclist must raise at least $4,000 to participate. Since the ride started in 2004, it has raised almost $741,000 for cancer research.

Although most of the group, whose ages range from 19 to 26, have University of Texas connections, they had never met before becoming riding partners.
