The 11Steden bicycle tour campaign



Each activity is a chance to promote different ways to support those who need it. And in that mood, I (Pablo) decided to bike for water in the dutch 11Steden Bicycle tour.

The 11Steden tour goes through 11 towns in norther Holland, for a total of 240km. The tour is non-competitive, which means there is maximum speed and it takes at least 10 hours to complete.

I carried my mobile phone and used the stops to report on the tour. You can see the full "documentary" in my personal blog (http://eloriundo.blogspot.com/). You can see an small video here of the beautiful weather we had to endure:






At the end, we proved again that the only thing people need to go and help, is the chance to do it! We managed to bike the 240km, and we got 70 euro cents per km, plus a couple of extra donations, for a grand total of 170 euros!!

THANKS again to all those who collaborated, motivated me during the race, and keep making it possible for supportinc to finance its projects!
