Welcome to Bike Tour 2012!

Once again we find ourselves in the season of cycling for gender and equality! For those of you new to the 'Tour du Faso', here is what you have to look forward to: Peace Corps Volunteers biking around the country to raise funds for the PC Burkina Faso Gender and Development Committee!
