raising parties. Full details and pictures to follow soon, but we would
like to announce that we raised a MASSIVE £22,631.17 which is
way beyond any of our expectations. Thank you so much to the committee,

 The
Cycle Challenge Rides 2005 and 2006
The Cycle Challenge Rides are a 6 day, 280km
cycle trip along dirt roads, across game reserves, riding with
giraffes and zebra, through small villages up the Rift Valley of
Kenya. They are certainly an endurance test and we are very lucky
to have had such an amazing take up on these events over the last
two years. The high point of the ride is arriving at one of the
schools
The riders have one and all come back
immensely moved by their efforts and by the reception by the African
school children.
 Kariandusi Kenyan
Cycle Challenge 2006
10 days UK to UK
Once again Suffolk was in the forefront of the rides, but the good news last
year was that we had more riders from elsewhere. Well done to the 15 riders who
managed this amazing ride and thanks to John Etherington and has Escape Adventures
crew for running two very successful trips.
In 2006 the rides were in September
and were organised to raise money to help build Simba Primary School,
the third of the KST projects
 KCC

about £27,000 which is absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much to you all for this
fantastic effort.
 Kariandusi
Kenyan Cycle Challenge 2005
Well, we did it, thefirst ever Kariandusi CycleChallenge.
Correction, THEY did it. Who are they? 16 of Suffolk's finest. Even
that's not entirely true, as therewere a couple of riders not from
Suffolk, but for the sake of a good story lets call them Suffolk's
finest.
The 2005 rides were to raise funds
for the Langa Langa Primary School
read on to see how much they raised and
what they did.....
