The 6th annual Charity Cycle Adventure will take place from 27-29 November 2015, raising money for disadvantaged children in Vietnam. This year’s Adventure is a real challenge for any rider. The team will ride through the amazing landscapes of the Central Highlands from Buon Me Thuot to Da Lat, the former French-colonial resort town, before feeling the breeze in their faces on the long descent to the sea at Nha Trang. Many passes and mountains will need to be overcome along the way, so this year’s riders will be Kings and Queens of the Mountains!
The three-day, 300km ride starts from Buon Me Thuot, cycling off-road throughethnic minority villages, following the rivers and passing scenic coffee plantations before reaching beautiful Lak Lake in the afternoon. From here, the big second day will see the riders confront many uphill challenges on the climb up to,and around,Da Lat at an elevation of 1500m.
Day threewill see the team drop down through the mountains to Nha Trang for a ride along the scenic coastal roads, promising a variety of breathtaking landscape on the way, as well as a 2000m pass! Beautiful coast and beach will welcome the riders at the finish line, where team celebrations will replace sore legs and sun-burnt necks with a real sense of achievement.
Each rider, in addition to a registration fee which covers all ride costs, is asked to get their family, friends and network behind them and raise a minimum of US$500 which will go directly to support the children that we work with at SCC.
The money raised will play a vital role in helping to achieve SCC’s vision to eliminate poverty through education, helping to provide life changing educational opportunities for disadvantaged children through scholarships, building schools or vocational training.Five previous CCA rides have raised over $200,000 for SCC.
