Hi All, Tour du Rwanda is going on right now. Rwanda, the Land of 10,000 hills, is a challenging place to ride. You might be reading about the troubles in Goma, Congo - right at the Rwandan border. The video in the link below tells some of the story of the 1994 holocaust in Rwanda. Team Rwanda was started by Jonathan (Jock) Boyer. Warning, the video shows some of the violence. Earl "If you're curious about the origins, TAR's documentary, Rising From Ashes, is now available for FREE on YouTube! Spend 84 minutes watching this inspirational film that chronicles the formation of Team Rwanda in 2006, which ultimately led to the 2025 UCI Road World Championships this year! Almost 14,000 people have watched the film since it opened on YouTube a few weeks ago."
I was lucky enough to meet Jock and Kimberly Coates when I was in Rwanda about 10 years ago. Earl
"Good is something you do, not something you talk about. Some medals are pinned to your soul, not to your jacket. " Gino Bartali, Italian hero and winner of the Tour de France in 1938
