The Selma to Montgomery Bicycle Ride has received a $25,000 sponsorship from Sen. Robert Stewart, Rep. Prince Chestnut and the RC&D Association of Alabama. 

The event follows the Selma to Montgomery National Trail, retracing the march that protestors took during the civil rights movements to demand equal voting rights and an end to segregation. 

In a post on social media the Blackbelt Benefit Group announced that they were able to extend the ride further into the Black Belt region.
