(2026 update from Kerry: I posted this originally on 10/12/21. It's the story behind riding 100 miles for Waverly and Humphreys County flood victims. The first ride was October 31, 2021. On each anniversary since, I've ridden from my home in Springfield to the Humphreys County in solemn remembrance of the victims and their families. On Saturday, August 22, 2026, the five-year anniversary of the flood, I'll ride again.)

Waverly and Humphreys County have a special place in our hearts. Dianne and I started visiting soon after the new Senate districts were announced in 2012 and were quickly adopted into the Humphreys County family.
