Sen. Kerry Roberts to Bike 100 Miles in Memory of Waverly Flood Victims
ROBERTSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE (Smokey Barn News) – State Senator Kerry Roberts (R-Springfield) has announced the details for his fourth annual 100-mile bicycle ride to remember the victims of the deadly flooding in Waverly and Humphreys County, marking the four-year anniversary of the tragedy.
The ride will take place on Saturday, August 23, 2025, beginning at 8:00 a.m. at the Robertson County Courthouse in Springfield and concluding at the Humphreys County Courthouse.
“Each year, my goal is to remember the victims as well as remind Tennesseans of the families and businesses of Humphreys County who continue to struggle as a result of the flood,” said Sen. Roberts. “The flood claimed 20 lives and damaged or destroyed over 800 homes. It’s important to me to let the people of Humphreys County know we have not forgotten them.”
“We also continue to call attention to the need for rebuilding homes and businesses. The flood affected thousands of lives and livelihoods,” Roberts added.
As he has since his first ride on October 31, 2021, Senator Roberts will bicycle 100 miles from his home in Springfield to the Humphreys County Courthouse in remembrance of the lives lost and in support of those impacted by the floods.
