I came across this news story and thought that it was very exciting! As faithful blog readers know, OSU is hosting the International Baccalaureate World Student Conference next week! We learned that six participants of the IB World Conference are planning to bike to get to campus and will be joined by the OSU Cycling Team for the last 20 miles of the trek.

They turned their trip to Oregon State University into a fundraiser for the IB program global community service project. What a great idea! You can donate to their fund raising efforts by visiting their school’s website at: http://cottonwoodclassical.org/

Also, check out the news coverage of their adventure. We wish the cyclists a safe journey to campus and we cannot wait to host them and all attendees from twelve different countries August 9-13 at Oregon State University. Thanks to KRQE.com for the story.
