The 2010 Change a Life Cycle takes place from 3 – 8 September 2010. This time we head north to MALAWI. 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.

Route

Our route in Malawi is 470 km long, it’s not too hilly (except for the last day…) and the individual days are not too long (well perhaps the second day..). As for the roads, they are in great condition and usually carry very few cars.  Add to this smiling and friendly local people and some stunning scenery. It’s a sure recipe for success. We will cycle for three days, starting off from the capital Lilongwe and ending atop the spectacular Zomba Plateau.

Cost

Each cycle participant has paid R27 000 to enter, with all proceeds going directly to the Mike Thomson Change a Life Trust. Computershare has again shown its commitment to combating crime by matching rand for rand all funds raised.
