Beyond Housing’s annual bike-a-thon fundraiser is set for Saturday in Elmira, with proceeds going to support an affordable-housing project in town.
Participating in this year’s Out-Spok’n Bike-a-thon is Beyond Housing’s first executive director, Martin Buhr, who is making this his last ride.
The 87-year-old, who recently underwent a “miraculous valve implantation,” said he is set to complete the 30-km ride, which starts at the Elmira Mennonite Church and goes to the Kissing Bridge Trailway up to Wallenstein and then back to the town.
