LINK_malawibikeride_button The Malawi Bike Ride 2011 runs for 10 days through Malawi, which is probably one of the most beautiful countries in Africa with its great lake, exotic foliage and game reserves. It is also home to some of the friendliest people in Africa and you will be assured of a warm welcome in ‘the Warm Heart of Africa.’

The bike ride aims to raise funds to support Link Community Development’s work to improve the quality of education in Malawi. As well as training, each rider will have to raise at least £2,850 in sponsorship, with help from family, friends and colleagues.
