What is GBI? GBI = Global Biking Initiative and is a non profit organisation that started to organise charitable long distance bike events in 2008. In 2014 the 5th edition of
GBI Europe will kick off in Budapest (15 June) and will arrive in Munich (21June).
About 400 cyclists from over 20 countries are expected to sign up for this fantastic one-week trip. Teams consist of 10 cyclists and are often internationally mixed.
According to ability, pace and type of bike, teams chose between the 650km or the 950km track. It is not a timed race. Enjoying the scenery and the challenge together while raising money for good causes are the major goals.
www.gbi-event.orgWho are Daniela & Melany? We got to know each other on the GBI 2012, and have been friends and sporting buddies since. We love our running, but we also like a good cycling pace. We take time to enjoy the scenery, have coffee breaks and we always love to share a nice ride/run with like minded enthusiasts. Even the better if we can support a good cause while having fun (and sometimes a sore bottom..)
We are jointly coordinating Team TLAČIT on our 3rd GBI. Our team will be a fun mix of Germans, South-Africans, Czech and probably a few more nationalities. And yes, there is a story behind that team name ...:-)
Who are we raising money for? We were looking specifically for an organisation encouraging Women/Girls to get education and economic independance. We like
Namasté Foundations approach and projects and see a very inspired team at work to support women and children in Nepal.
