RIDING TO BREAK THE CYCLE 2009 - Call for cyclists!
Want to make a positive impact on the world? Interested in cycling the Pacific Coast or Europe?
Join one of the two 2009 tours where teams of 25 young people pedal from either Vancouver, B.C. to Tijuana, Mexico OR Amsterdam, Netherlands to Istanbul, Turkey to raise funds and awareness about how microcredit can help developing world entrepreneurs lift THEMSELVES out of poverty.
"An intensely powerful experience, a sharp reminder of what this was all about, the perfect wrap-up to a challenging journey of personal growth, and something none of us will soon forget."
- Shawn Smith on the ride and visit to ADMIC, a microcredit organization in Hermosillo, Mexico
