Fifteen cyclists consisting of current residents, alumni and supporters of the Paul Anderson Youth Home left the home Thursday afternoon to bike 560 miles through six Georgia cities, with Statesboro being the first stop Thursday evening. Statesboro First United Methodist Church hosted the boys after their day's ride, feeding them a home-cooked meal and providing a place for them to sleep before biking away on Friday. Before stopping at the church, Georgia Southern University's Recreation Activity Center offered them a place to shower and get refreshed after the daylong ride from Vidalia.
