USO Bike Ride is returning to Samoa!

From July 24th until Friday 3rd August.  A team of 18 (15 cyclists and 3 support crew) will be cycling around Upolu and Savaii.  We will partner with Samoa Cancer Society to raise cancer awareness at a number of schools and community settings along the way.
 
In Upolu we will also stop at Lalomanu and support the 2018 Samoa Warrior Race.  Our members will join with locals to form a number of teams in the Beat the Heat triathlon- Swim 1.5km, bike 50km, run 10km
 
We will also be taking with us a number of used bikes and resources to donate.  Samoa is a great way for the team to meet and share with the Samoa Cancer Society, Samoa Events and local agency’s and families.  Cycling around Samoa is also the perfect way to experience Samoa first hand.  It promises to be a true revelation for all involved.

SAMOA 2014

SAMOA 2014 was an USOme year for the team in Samoa.  Through our activity in New Zealand we were able to recycle 37 used bicycles, ship them to Samoa with the support of MATSON shipping and donate them to SAMOA EVENTS for use in schools, triathlons and community events.  Samoa events and the community appreciated the donation and many students were able to use the bikes while we were there in triathlon and cycle rides.

Many thanks to MATSON Shipping, SAMOA EVENTS and SAMOA CANCER SOCIETY for your support of this initiative.
