300 women bicycle across Middle East for peace

"Follow the Women is an international organisation of ordinary women from many different countries united in calling for an end to violence in the Middle East. In a time when terror and cruelty are spreading around the globe, there has never been a greater need for the women of the world to work together for a more peaceful planet.

"In order to work towards achieving these aims Follow the Women organised a cycle ride across the Middle East in April 2004. In 2005 the second bicycle ride will take place from 15th to the 25th September. Approximately 300 women from over 30 countries will cycle more than 300 kilometres from Beirut in Lebanon, through Syria to Damascus, on to the Jordanian capital Amman and into Palestine to Ramallah. A separate ride will take place at the same time in Israel."
