The Fuller Center for Housing, a Christian nonprofit organization, is launching its first-ever Winter Western Ride starting in Huntington Beach on Tuesday. More than two dozen cyclists will depart from St. Wilfred Episcopal Church and ride 26 miles to Anaheim, the first leg of a 626-mile journey that will conclude in Tucson on March 14. The ride aims to raise money and awareness for the Fuller Center's efforts to eliminate poverty housing.
Why it matters
The Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure has become the nonprofit's biggest fundraising and awareness event, raising over $6.8 million since its inception in 2008. The rides not only generate funds, but also provide visibility for the Fuller Center's mission of building affordable housing around the world and in the United States.
The details
The cyclists will start with a 26-mile segment from Huntington Beach to Anaheim, then head to Hemet for a couple of nights where they will also work on a Fuller Center housing project. Along the way, the riders typically stay at churches or other community buildings. The 626-mile Winter Western Ride is part of the Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure's biggest year yet, with nine rides to choose from along eight different routes.
- The ride starts on Tuesday, February 28, 2026 at around 8 a.m. from St. Wilfred Episcopal Church in Huntington Beach.
- The 626-mile Winter Western Ride is slated to conclude on March 14, 2026 in Tucson.
