Karura Forest Cycling Expedition
This event will cover a cycling adventure at the Urban forest of Nairobi called Karura. The forest offers eco-friendly opportunities for Kenyans and visitors to enjoy a leafy green respite from the hustle and bustle of the city to walk, to cycle, to jog, or simply to sit quietly and experience the serenity of nature in all its diversity.
The forest is also where Professor Wangari Maathai (late leader of the Green Belt Movement and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate) carried out a much-publicized campaign for saving the forest from developers who tried to grab large portions of the north of the central section of the forest. The forest became a symbol of the fight against land grabbing in Kenya. The ride will be along demarcated cycling trails in the forest.
