The Buwan Kothi Challenge 2011
Since the first Buwan Kothi Challenge bike ride in 2007, cyclists have helped to raise £50,000 for the Buwan Kothi International Trust (BKIT). These funds represent a major part of the total grants of £134,675 made by BKIT to date, which have helped build the Gilly Mundy Memorial Community School in Haryana in northern India.
On Sunday 17 July 2011, we are holding the fifth Buwan Kothi Challenge and again it will involve a charity ride through 33 miles of beautiful Warwickshire countryside. This year, we aim to raise £5000.
For those who are less experienced cyclists (and are not sure they can complete the full distance), there is also a 'beginners' ride, which covers 10 miles in a round-trip from Leamington to Hunningham.
