Luxuries include sleeping in tents, dying in 35 degree weather (or the occasional hypothermia), using portable showers and loos....Did I mention having a million flies buzz around you? It's no walk in the park but it's the best experience ever!
Last year, Alex, Bud, Kel, Shar and Joon embarked on the ride together and performed a dance routine at talent night. Their...*ahem*...outstanding...*cough*...performance impressed everyone and lead to talks with the activities manager to return the next year to host dance workshops!
And it worked out!
So, this year Flare returns to the bike ride with an even bigger team! Ness, Xiaoyun, Shar, Am, Vinh, Bronwyn, Sze Ching, Joon and Ian will be there for Day 1-3 (Nov 24-26) of the ride, having fun with the flies and the cow dung teaching dance! We hope to do Flare proud as we go 'regional' and spread the good name of Flare among all sorts of target audiences- little kids, high schoolers, old people, out-of-towners, country-siders...lots of people we will otherwise never get to meet!
Sadly, this year we won't be riding- we will only be volunteering. But Shar would like to propose that next year we go as cyclists on the full 9 days! (although this time we have to get a charity to sponsor us and raise money so we don't have to pay!) Anyone up for it? :)
