Racing in the wild

Posted: Oct 04, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

The diversity of Africa attractions, the awe-inspiring natural beauty and the intense creativity of African people has once again brought an even that brings pride and admiration to Africa. One of these events is ‘The Cycle with the Rhino' – a spectacular and unique sporting-cum-fundraising event that takes place in the Lake Nakuru National Park. This bicycle racing sport is one of the world most interesting event thanks, to the fact that it is done inside a densely populated wildlife national park.

This year marked the 6th event of the cycle with rhinos and the experience was greatly widespread. The organizers of this year's event choose a new route incorporating the old route with another stretch that saw the cyclist race through the patched community land parcels.

The race was flagged off from the sloppy nice-lawn corridor patched with young acacia trees by the Director of Kenya Wildlife Service Mr. Julius Kipng'etich. This followed a tasking pedaling through the magnificent shade of canopied acacia branches. The conducive weather conditions saw cyclists enjoy a cool breeze along the shoe before proceeding to the open community land.

The climax turf was climbing to the top of Flamingo Hill also know as Honeymoon Hill. Some cyclists opted to shoulder their bikes while others pushed them hard, while others jogged to the top in ambition of touching the line first.

The event is held every September and it involves great passion and excitement among the participants. Whether cheering or cycling, you will get to enjoy the scenery and also view game in their natural habitat. The Cycle with the Rhino event is organized in collaboration with various organizations, local and international cyclists and the local business community.

Join and race for conservation.
