Bike.Build.Home500

The event is 5 day event with all rides starting in Winona, MN at Winona State University. The event entails 500 kilometers of ridiing over the 5 days.  Funds raised go toward affordable housing organizations that the rider chooses.Rides vary in length but expect averaging 70 miles per day over the entire 5 days. 

Bike.Build.Home 500 was organized to continue the fine traditions of the Habitat 500 bike ride, which was previously coordinated by Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota.  In its 30-year history, bike riders raised over $7 million to build affordable homes.  The Bike.Build.Home 500 committee includes past Habitat 500 riders, volunteers, and committee members. Bike.Build.Home hopes to mobilize the nearly-all-volunteer spirit of the original Habitat 500, updating it with what we learned from Habitat Minnesota.
