Sevgili Pisikletçiler,
NSTS adındaki Malta'lı bir şirket böbrek hastalarına yardım etmek
amacıyla bir bisiklet turu düzenliyor. Bu sene tur Türkiye-Suriye
arasında olacak, Maltalı bisikletliler İstanbul'dan yola çıkıp 10
günde Damascus'a varmayı hedefliyorlar. Mesafe 2000 km, günde 200 km
pedal basacaklar!
Altta Suriye'ye gönderilen İngilizce metni bulabilirsiniz. Türkiye
geçişlerinde destek vermek ve beraber pedal çevirmek için birleşelim.
Ben organizatörlerden tarih ve Türkiye geçişinde nasıl destek
verebileceğimizi öğreneceğim. Bisikletle Suriye turu yapan arkadaşlar
da tecrübelerini yazarak yardımcı olabilirler.
İlkbahar geldi, bisikletler hazır mı? :)

>
