“The Bike and Build Team will help Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area staff and other volunteers renovate a home at 922 6th Street South.

That stop will be about the halfway point of the 4,167-mile trek for the group of 28, that started in Vermont and will end in Washington state.

The cycling trips are meant to raise awareness for affordable housing. They stop about every five days to take part in an affordable housing project.

‘It’s amazing to watch them build,’ Habitat executive director Kahya Fox said in a news release. ‘They have been building all across the United States, so they don’t waste any time getting to work. We are so honored to have been chosen to be one of the many stops along the way.'”
