Next year NUMB
will celebrate 16 years of feeding the hungry of the world. NUMB
has contributed over $460,000 to alleviate hunger all around the world
since the first ride in 1996. NUMB
benefits the hungry in Nebraska and around the world and is sponsored
by the Nebraska Annual Conference Board of Mission Outreach Hunger
Committee.
NUMB
is open to all interested cyclists. You do not have to be United
Methodist to participate in NUMB.
The ride will be limited to the first 135 riders. Riders will be coming
from all across the nation, as well as Nebraska to be a part of this
ride. Watch for registration forms for NUMB 2011 in late
January 2011.
Riders 18 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult, parent
or guardian. NUMB
will be challenging and riders must be in excellent riding condition
and using quality biking equipment. Helmets are required. Participants
must pay $45 for registration ($50
- after May 1st) and secure a
minimum of $100 pledged to United Methodist Hunger programs.
Registrants will receive pledge sheets and information about United
Methodist Hunger projects upon registering.
The fifteenth NUMB
took the riders through the last three counties of Nebraska: Hamilton, Seward
and York. This was the largest NUMB in
the history of the ride. Over $50,000 was
collected by our riders. Hastings Grace
was our host and arranged for our stay at Hastings College. Other hosts were Central City, Seward and
Geneva. Our first day was marked by
very strong winds for our first 30 miles.
A biking miracle happened on the next three days as the wind changed
direction each day to be at our backs.
No major accidents or mishaps on this trip.
