It’s that time of year again and Auburn great Bo Jackson is back on his bike and ready to tour Alabama. The fourth annual “Bo Bikes Bama” is fast approaching and set to begin May 2.

Registration is available on bobikesbama.com, and participants can ride either 20 or 63 miles. Both routes will take riders through the campus of Auburn University, while the 63-mile route will carry riders through Tuskegee and neighboring Macon County.

The 20-mile ride is $40 for online registration and $60 on the day of the ride. The 63-mile trip is $60 online and $100 to register on the day of the event.

The ride happens rain or shine. Participants must provide their own bicycle and all related equipment, in good working order, and helmets are required.

“You could say that I’m officially in training mode” Jackson said in a press release. “I’m eager to get on my bike in Auburn and excited to make some new friends on May 2 to raise money for a good cause.”

For those that register, riders and supporters can also create personal teams and team fundraiser pages to college donations for the event.

On April 27, 2011, several devastating tornadoes ripped through Alabama claiming hundreds of lives and destroying countless homes. A year later, Bo embarked on a five-day journey across the state of Alabama, visiting many of the towns ravaged by the tornadoes to raise money.

All money has been raised through the Governor’s Emergency Relief Fund and there’s been more than $780,000 raised the last three years. The money has been used to rebuild hundreds of homes and for the construction of community storm shelters across the state.

“The support from riders and fans has been tremendous over the past three years,” Jackson said. “This new fundraising tool will enable all supporters to participate in Bo Bikes Bama, whether it’s from the seat of their bike or their living room.”
