In the spirit of bike riding and adventure, Bicycle Network members were recently given the chance to enter the draw to win an incredible bike tour through Greece courtesy of our friends at Bike Odyssey.
We are pleased to announce the winner, Kristi Ingrilli, who is getting ready for a once-in-a-lifetime bike adventure from Athens to Ithaca valued at nearly $10,000.
Kristi began bike riding through her work at a children’s charity to help raise money for sick kids, and became hooked on the camaraderie and satisfaction that came with challenging herself over long distances. Soon after, she became a Bicycle Network member.
“I've never been in a position to need to use the insurance, but the peace of mind is totally worth it,” says Kristi.
Having previously toured Italy by bike with her friends and loved it (more the descents than the climbs), she’s excited about her next adventure, scheduled for 2025.
“To be honest, I'd never really considered Greece as somewhere to do a cycling tour!,” Kristi says.
“I love how important the history and culture clearly is to the Bike Odyssey team, as well as the off bike aspects of incredible accommodation and dining. Cycling wise, it looks like quite the challenge with some good climbs (far from my high point) and I'm looking forward to having a goal to work towards.”
Once there though, I'm really looking forward to some beautiful cycling, meeting new people and enjoying all the good things that come with visiting another country.”
Being a Bicycle Network member allows you to enter competitions like this, powers our advocacy, gets you discounted tickets to events and makes sure you're covered every time you ride. Read more about member benefits here.
