HERE'S THE SCOOP​​
​
Poverty is often generational. It becomes a cycle that can be extremely difficult to get out of. Families in poverty face a myriad of obstacles when they try to rise above their circumstances and stop the cycle.
This is why Mosaic International wants to "Reverse the Cycle" of poverty and change the future of families around the world. We don't only want to alleviate today's needs, we want to make sure that future generations have the tools they need to rise out of poverty and live a prosperous future. Together, we want to Reverse the Cycle!
This year we are raising money to support local pastors throughout the developing nations in which we work. Did you know we are connected with over 50 small, indigenous churches throughout the world? These pastors work tirelessly for their communities, but often lack the resources they need to provide for their vision and keep their churches running. We come alongside these pastors to help them accomplish their vision for their own communities. We don't prescribe ready-made solutions, but rely on building relationships and listening to the passion of pastors around the world. After all, they know their communities best! This year, we are so excited to be able to assist more local pastors through your support and registration!
Whether you are on training wheels or training for an Ironman Race, this event is for you. All levels and participation are welcome.
This is a virtual event, meaning you can ride your bike any time on the 1st of October, any distance, and with whoever you want! You can join the family ride or challenge yourself to a century (100 miles), a chill ride at the beach or around your favorite park, or hit the gym (or home gym) for a stationary ride.
Cost: $40 per adult (fun ride) and $20 for children 14 years old and younger. $50 for competitive riders in 25, 50, or Century ride.
BONUS: Everyone who registers will receive FREE Mosaic goodies & a custom medal!

A FEW FOLKS LEADING THE WAY...
​
Mosaic International's founder, Mark Sherman, did his first century (100 miles) last year and will be committing to do the same this year! Would you join him or sponsor his challenge?
​
​
Danny lives in Moshi at the foothill of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. His many cycle adventures inspired us to do this event in the first place! That's right, we owe RTC to this guy! We can't wait to share the route he's challenging himself to do in October, it is pretty spectacular...
​
​
Pastor Edwin & Jo Dueñas lead all of our initiatives in the Philippines. They're also avid cyclists who regularly ride at the foothill of Mayon Volcano near their house. They'll be leading the way in the Philippines, let's cheer them on!
