Northern Tier Cross-Country

Have you been dreaming about biking across the United States?

This adventure might be just what you’ve been waiting for! The Northern Tier is often mentioned as the preferred route to cross from coast to coast. This 4000-mile trek minimizes climbing while offering glimpses of the very best scenery this country has to offer.

This route is a culmination of everything cyclists want in a cross-country ride: beautiful scenery, volunteer days, and incredible host churches. For 10 weeks the group will experience the country by bike from the pristine Oregon Coast to the rocky Maine shores.

In addition to cycling, the group will also have the opportunity to volunteer with 6 different local Fuller Center Covenant Partners as they traverse the country.

This trip will be one for the memories as we go through Glacier National Park, traverse the very northern U.S., visit the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, touch all 5 Great Lakes, and visit Niagara Falls. Enjoy our country’s rich history, wide-open spaces, and beautiful waters on this northern trip over the summer. This is the one you don’t want to miss!

Can’t join us for the full 10 week cross-country? Pick your favorite segments and join us for as long as you can!

Our version of the Northern Tier is not only a beautiful route, but it is also an opportunity to connect your riding and fundraising to the families we serve at several stops along the way.

While the cycling attracts many people to our events, most participants quickly learn they’re part of something far grander than just a ride. Join us to learn why.
