“It was quite an adventure,” said Mike Wise, one of the adults who participated in the cross-country ride that began June 10 and ended on Aug. 8. “When I first heard it was going to be 60 days, I thought, ‘I can do 60 days, no problem.’ I had no idea how long 60 days would really be.” The group took a northern route across the United States. “The first five to seven days were rainy,” Wise recalled, of the group’s journey through Oregon and Washington. They biked through thunderstorms, torrential downpours and unseasonably cold, wet weather. But they never gave up, Wise said, and they also encountered unforgettable sights along the route.
“A big highlight was Yellowstone National Park,” he said. “We rode through Beartooth Highway. … We rode 27 miles uphill. It was a crystal-clear day, and you could see for miles. It was just beautiful.” The participants had concerns ahead of time that they’d all make it up the incline - and then concerns about coming down through hairpin turns and steep drop-offs. Despite the challenges, the riders experienced no major health concerns or problems - only some muscle aches, blisters and irritated asthma.
Joining Wise on the trip were youth team members Zach Greineder, Liam Howell, Micah Lapp, Micah Clark, Monny Smith, Zander Malanchuk, AJ Vega and Jaerrid Strawser, along with adults Al Vega and Michelle Deller.
Each day of the trip kicked off with a text of encouragement and Scripture from Lifecycles founder Lee DeRemer, followed by a ride to the evening’s stop. “We’d go out to dinner at night, and that’s when we could really bond, since we couldn’t talk to each other much during the rides,” said Wise, a retired art teacher from Manheim who joined Lifecycles four years ago.
The trip brought out the best and the worst in everybody, Wise stated, adding, “We all had our moments when we were struggling in different ways, either physically or emotionally, but the boys all did great. They represented Lifecycles and the Lord well.”
At 63, Wise said he isn’t sure he’s up for another crosscountry bike ride, but he knows the memories from this one will last for years. “One of the boys, after the trip was over, came up to me and said, ‘Can you help me with my devotions? I like doing them, and I feel so much better when I do them, and I don’t want that to end,’” Wise remarked. “That made me realize what a lasting impact this trip is going to have on these boys.”

“It’s important for us as a church to be connected to our community,” said Arlene Heistand, chair of the social committee of Rissers Mennonite Church. With that goal in mind, the church will hold a community picnic on Saturday, Sept. 25, beginning at 4 p.m. The festivities will be held at the church, 8360 Elizabethtown Road, Elizabethtown.
The picnic will also feature a bounce house, hayride and petting zoo. “People in the congregation are bringing some of their animals,” Arlene explained. “We’ll have goats, a rabbit and more.”
Food options at the picnic will include Peters’ Barbecue pulled pork as well as homemade apple pie.
Picnic committee member Miranda Heistand said the picnic offers an opportunity for the church to focus on fellowship. “We do the picnic to provide a central location for neighbors to meet neighbors,” she stated. “It’s a fun way to get to know people and meet people who live near you.” The church holds other events for the community throughout the year, including a strawberry social in June.
Attendees should bring their own lawn chairs. The picnic will be held outside on the church grounds or indoors in the case of inclement weather.
Rissers Mennonite Church holds services on Sundays beginning at 9 a.m. with Sunday school for adults and children, followed by worship time at 10 a.m. For more information, call 717-653-4549.
