Participants have hardly hung up their bicycles, and we are already preparing for the 2010 Change a Life Cycle, which takes place from 3 – 8 September 2010. This time we head north to MALAWI, and whilst the route will not be a mystery, nor will cyclists be faced with hair-raising mountain passes, we promise the same fantastic camaraderie, the spirit of Africa and its friendliest people, and one of the most beautiful lakes on earth.

The tiny jewel-like country of Malawi offers unspoilt beaches and crystal-clear waters, boulder-strewn islands, a stunning World Heritage site, and some spectacular mountain plateaus. In addition to cycling (a lot!), there will also be the opportunity for the 2010 participants to go kayaking, diving or snorkelling in Lake Malawi’s aquarium-like waters.

The 2010 Change a Life Cycle will cost participants in the region of R25 000, all inclusive of flights, accommodation, food and logistical support. The cyclists’ proceeds go directly to the Mike Thomson Change a Life Trust.
