from The Abilene Reporter News<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
