Local women bike for bibles

2/10/2008 2:51:00 PM
TWO Moora women cycled from York to Perth over two days recently to raise money for literacy work around the world.

Bike for Bibles is an annual ride which Ruby Carter has been doing for eight years.

This year she was joined by fellow cycling enthusiast Tanya Chapman and two other women from Perth on the 90km ride.

Eight years ago Mrs Carter made the cycle from Perth to Hobart and four years ago cycled to Adelaide for the fundraiser.

Next August Mrs Carter will be joined by her husband Lyall and friends Luke Humphries, Chris Porter and Ms Chapman when they will ride from Perth to Sydney.

Bike for Bibles supports literacy work around the world, with New Reader Scripture Booklets being distributed to help people learn how to read in their own language, while learning about the Gospel.

Mr and Mrs Carter and a number of community members from all walks of life meet every Saturday morning at 8.30am at the Moora Telecentre and go for a cycle.

The cycle can be as fast or as relaxed as the individual requires and the group accommodates all fitness levels.

Mrs Carter encourages all community members to come for a ride with no on-going commitment required.
