Bohai or Bust Charity Bicycle Ride
Surrounding Bohai Township includes over twenty villages nestled underneath the Great Wall, and is filled with forested valleys and stunning mountain passes – just the setting for a remarkable day of bike riding! Our charity event will cater to veteran riders and children alike. Past intern Audrey Gueho biked all over Bohai and outlined the township’s twelve best routes. Her newly published guidebook Biking Bohaiwill be available, and all participants will get dedicated T-shirts. Unfortunately we can’t give out free bikes; Bohai or Bust is a BYOB – bring your own bike – event. But we will be raising money for the township’s communities. All participants are asked to gather donations for each kilometer ridden – the Schoolhouse will help you match your donations with corporate subscriptions. All proceeds will go the Bohai charity fund. Why not book a home or a room and make a weekend of it while having the ride of your life, under the Great Wall!

That is what we plan to do all day Saturday, as we tour Mutianyu and taste a variety of dishes made from the freshest local ingredients -- check back later for more details.
