Saturday afternoon, a group of around 18 cyclists pedaled into town.
They started the day in Bloomfield and rode the approximately 70 miles to Fort Madison and spent the night at the Joy Baptist Church house.
The cyclists were part of The Fuller Center Bike Adventure, riding across the country from Seattle, Washington to Washington, D.C.

“Along the way we stop and we have build days where we help the different Fuller locations further their progress on different housing projects,” he said, “and they can range from yard work to taking down trees to painting, putting up walls, insulating, roofing, revising.”
The group is just over halfway done with the voyage and the work projects, Anding said.
“We’ve found that they’ve been very, very beneficial to the families or the individuals that have a huge need,” he said. “One of the criteria is basically the families or the people that are going to benefit, they have to put in some sweat equity.”
