Cross-country cyclists stopped here to repair homes for low-income Portagers

- Jeremy Brown

After pedaling more than 2,500 miles, cyclists participating in the Fuller Center Bike Adventure’s Seaside to Sebago tour pedaled into Aurora on July 8 to help low-income Portage County residents with home-repair projects.

Aurora was the seventh stop on their 3,900-mile ride to carry out home-improvement projects from coast to coast, a journey which began in Seaside, Oregon, on May 20 and is expected to end in Portland, Maine, on July 31.
