Koto Bike Ride Ready this November
Sun 20 Nov 2011
Hanoi to Ba Vi National Park
From KOTO:
Registration is under way for the 2011 KOTO Bike Ride, which will be held on 20th November beginning from Hanoi. The 2011 ride offers a new route, which leads participants along beautiful country roads, through quiet picturesque villages, on to the new arrival destination – Ba Vi National Park, where riders can explore Vietnamese hidden gardens. KOTO will donate one dollar per person to the Ba Vi National Park.
The 65 km ride begins at 7:30 a.m., starting at the United Nation International School in Ciputra, Tay Ho District, Hanoi.
Support vehicles and water break stops will be stationed along the ride; a barbecue lunch, a botanic garden tour, cooking class, team building activities, and value added services will be offered when you arrive.
We can lend riders a bicycle at US$ 15/bike if they do not have their own. Register today as individuals, teams, or corporations to raise a minimum fund of US$200 per person; special rate applies for self-funded volunteer & children under 18. Please contact [email protected] or on 04 3718 4573
All proceeds go directly to changing the lives of street and disadvantaged youth in Vietnam through the KOTO program.
