Hi Everyone!!
Welcome to our blog: The Great 'Timor'ian Bike Ride... The epic journey we formulated in order to improve the tumultuous circumstances of youth in East Timor. Too many Timorese youth are flocking to an overcrowded Dili with nothing to their names and no future. Encompassing return to regional areas and the lack of infrastructure within the country, we decided to create and ride Chinese bicycles (the classic single gear bikes) from Melbourne to Wangaratta (240km). With our mission of the ride to establish youths with future hope and sustainability in their lives we aim to create public awareness through education and filming of our journey and crucial financial support, so that East Timor can further develop its independence on more than just determination.
Join this group and show your support for this colossal and mad adventure!
We need your help to raise money to support projects in East Timor.
