Bonaire Wellness Connexions Begins 2010 with Many Activities
BWC has announced a very active calendar for 2010 which is perfect for active residents or tourists, beginning with the first event on Saturday, January 16, 2010.
This first event of the year will be the BWC East Mountain Bike Ride, a mountain bike ride through new goat and donkey trails along the east coast, which promises to be a thrilling ride. Price per participant is FL 20.00 (about USD $11.24); fee includes drinks and fruits.
Then, on Sunday, January 31, the National Park Mountain Bike Ride is planned. This is a popular mountain bike tour in Washington Slagbaai National Park, and is for riders of all levels of experience; distance for beginners, intermediate, and advanced riders. More advanced or experienced riders will have the opportunity to ride from BWC (town) to the entrance of the park, then ride the park with the whole group and then ride back to town (approximately 80 km). Advanced ride will start from BWC at 7.00 AM. There will be assistance in the park with a pickup in case participants get tired, so they can catch a ride. Cost is $14.50 per person and includes a sandwich, drinks, and fruit. Please note that the entrance to the park is not included, so those who have a dive tag should bring that, along with the receipt, for free entry.
