After several months in the building donated by Swiftwick in West Nashville we have lost our home. After the flooding in West Nashville, property has become a high commodity and a tenant moved into the space that we spent many man hours of labor on.

Zachary Ford, aka The Pondering Cyclist, has decided to ride 3,500 miles from Texas to Oregon and back down the west coast of California to Mexico to bring attention to Ride for Reading and the need for books in the hands of children from low-income areas.
