What one of our cyclists say
As young cyclists, we deeply appreciate how the Tour De Gambia Organization has become more than just a platform for cycling—it has become a second home. Through its inclusive and supportive environment, we feel a renewed sense of belonging, purpose, and unity. Many of us had lost confidence or felt disconnected from our communities, but being part of this cycling team has brought us back together with a shared passion. The regular training sessions, community rides, and events not only keep us active but also mentally focused and physically strong. We’ve built lifelong friendships, developed discipline, and learned the true meaning of teamwork. Tour De Gambia is giving us hope, promoting our health, and inspiring us to strive for greatness on and off the road. It’s more than just cycling—it’s a movement that’s changing lives across The Gambia, one pedal at a time.
