Christian bikers host water outreach during Sturgess rally
Bluefield pastor Tom Hughes and his wife Debbie, members of the Mountain Circuit Riders CMA, handed out water and Real Freedom literature to bikers at Sturgess South Dakota where about 700000 riders gathered. Peter Fonda reportedly accepted water, while Hughes credited two conversions. The couple traveled 8843 miles across the nation on a Road Glide Harley and survived a near-vertical crash, with Hughes spraining an ankle. Hughes calls himself a minister who happens to be a biker and aims to spread faith amid the ride.
