Welcome to the Cycle4haiti Blog

…Cycle4haiti, 215 km, and a fundraising goal of €50,000...

Over the course of the upcoming May long weekend (May 1st and May 2nd) Gift Voucher Shop (GVS) staff and friends will rally to the streets in a charity cycle from Dublin to Galway. The goal: raise €50,000 for the Soul of Haiti to support relief-aid after the devastating earthquake of January 12th, 2010.

Without a single avid cyclist amongst those currently registered to take part, the feat begins far before the weekend of the main event. It will be necessary for training to begin months before the two-day, 215 km cycle. Organized by The Gift Voucher Shop’s Bikes4work scheme (www.bikes4work.ie) the event will be followed by local and regional media coverage, a social media campaign, fortnightly newsletters and online newsroom.

84 Km Training Cycle... "Terry, have you made it home yet?"

Waking up at 6 AM to cycle Irish country roads, in sub-zero temperatures, and spending 4hrs on a bike seat is a tall order for two amateur cyclists...

...Sure, we are still waiting for Terry Spence to make it home!  He was last seen, by a fellow cyclist, trying to make his way through the thick frozen fog (Image to left)...
