\"\"LEXINGTON, Ky.\u2014Kelsey McComas says she\u2019s never been much of a biker. \u201cBut I\u2019m learning to be,\u201d she quickly adds. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s a bit of an understatement. McComas, who will graduate from Transylvania University May 26, is scheduled to leave June 20 from Portsmouth, N.H., and spend the next 10 weeks biking 3,700 miles across country to Vancouver, British Columbia. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s all for a good cause: Bike and Build, a non-profit that organizes trips in which groups of about 30 participants bike along eight cross-country routes and, along the way, build affordable housing for deserving citizens. Each rider must raise $4,500, and more than half of those funds go toward the building projects. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been active in community service since high school,\u201d said McComas, an Ashland, Ky., native who volunteered at her community\u2019s hospice, took a Transylvania service learning course in the Philippines and helped raise funds for Children\u2019s Miracle Network. \u201cI\u2019m in a transitional stage of life right now\u2014graduating from college and entering the real world. This is the perfect time to do something productive on my own, and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing the immediate impact of our construction projects.\u201d <\/p>\n

McComas started training for her ride in January, alternating between daily regimens of weight lifting and cardio. Once she raised $1,000, Bike and Build sent her a bike to use on the trip, and she started practicing on Lexington\u2019s Legacy Trail. <\/p>\n

She says she\u2019ll be ready when she gets to Portsmouth, where she\u2019ll complete a two-day orientation to learn how to ride safely with a group and make on-the-road repairs. \u201cI\u2019ve never changed a bike tire,\u201d she admits. <\/p>\n

Each rider will carry a camel-back container of water and a few supplies. A van will follow the group to transport additional equipment and for safety purposes. Community centers, schools and YMCAs will provide lodging and meals along the way, and once a week, the group will spend an extra night in a town to complete a building project. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never undertaken such a huge time and energy commitment before, but this is what I\u2019m most excited about\u2014testing my limits and myself,\u201d says McComas. \u201cI\u2019m also looking forward to seeing the U.S. I\u2019ve never been further west than Bozeman, Montana.\u201d <\/p>\n

After her summer adventure, McComas hopes to work for AmeriCorps and then enroll in pharmacy school. <\/p>\n
