The Luso Africa Cycling fourth annual Mozambique Charity ride has ended with 685km being covered by pedal power. This year saw five young riders participate in the charity ride. The youngest of whom is 17 years of age and a first-time participant. Remo, at the ripe age of 69 years, is the oldest rider and can boast four charity tour rides along with three other riders.

Show up on time | Give yourself ample preparation time so you can arrive a couple of minutes ahead of the scheduled start time, ready to roll. That means water bottles are full, you have energy bars, you have spares and you are fully dressed and ready to party. Hold your line | Ride directly behind the wheel that’s in front of you and hold that line so riders around you can keep the group tight and calm. Looking forward (ie: not staring down at the wheel right in front of you) will give you more time to adjust for changes in speed and group lines. Try to be as predictable as possible. Respect the crew and group leader | Let the organizers of the ride determine both the route and the pace. By all means, when it’s go-time and the
