#5Good luck and enjoy, it's not quite as cheerfully warm as it was during the TdF but I'm sure cycling through France will be just as lovely anyway.

Fundraising through races, rides and walks generates revenue for the charity. These people are fundraising for the Room to Read non-profit, which attempts to improve literacy and gender equality in education in the developing world.
