Plans for a Jewish synagogue to serve the High Country are literally on a roll.

Cyclists Marla Gentile and Jamie Schaefer have taken to biking across town to pick up checks for large donations, securing the funding that will allow them to break ground on the Temple of the High Country in May.

Calling themselves the "Check Riders," Gentile and Schaefer have picked up $100,000 from two generous couples in recent weeks.
