For the past 5 years over 100 ordinary individuals have taken on extraordinary efforts as a part of the Ride:Well Cycling Tours. Coming from all corners of the country, some with no experience at all, connected only by their heart for Africa, they rode their bikes across the US, south to north and west to east, thousands of miles fueled by courage, compassion and community.
This coming year, this too could become your story. We are excited to announce in addition to the annual Cross-Country Tour, two new and incredible tours, including one in AFRICA!
PACIFIC NORTHWEST: For many an entire summer is too much (as in, you'd like to keep your job!), so we've added a 10-day cycling tour through the stunning Pacific Northwest from Seattle to Portland. There's also a two-tiered participation level making being a part of a Ride:Well Tour more accessible than ever. Learn more about the Pacific Northwest trip HERE.
MT. KILIMANJARO, TANZANIA: Here it is, your big chance! The 2012 Africa trip will take the team all the way to the top of the highest freestanding mountain in the world, Mt. Kilimanjaro! In addition to summiting, team members will have a fundraising option to visit Blood:Water Mission projects as a part of this two-tiered expedition. Your adventure starts HERE.
Ask anyone who has taken part before, these trips are truly life-changing - for you and the communities in Africa you'll be serving. The Ride:Well teams have raised funds for the rain tanks and the Tumaini Clinic in the Marsabit District of Northern Kenya - a region severely affected by the record-drought. The inspiring efforts of each team member over the years have quite literally resulted in saving lives, perhaps more directly and urgently than they could have ever imagined.
