The 4th Cycling Tour “Along Coffee Trails” was held last Sunday morning, May 22, by COOMAP, through the Department of Sustainability – Social Projects. The event is part of the Cooperative’s 65th anniversary celebrations and had almost 150 participants.
Participants gathered at COOMAP parking lot, where they could have breakfast, chat and also do some warm-up exercises, which was conducted by One Fit Health Club. Soon after, cyclists left to ride along the route, which went through our town streets and the rural communities of Cachoeira, Grama, Mandaguari, Penereiro, Água Branca and Ribeirão. Two support bases were placed along the route, with water and fruits for cyclists.
After completing the 20 or 40 kilometer course, participants returned to COOMAP parking lot, where each one received a participation medal. Many cyclists donated a kilo of non-perishable food, which will be delivered to socially vulnerable families in Paraguaçu.
COOMAP is grateful for the support of Paraguaçu Hospital Fundation, Sicoob Credivar, Objetiva 1 FM radio station, One Fit Health Club, Will Bike Shop and the Military Police, that are partners in this event, and to the co-op employees who helped organize the event. For COOMAP, the objective of the Cycling Tour is encouraging and raising awareness of the importance of sustainable mobility, working on the issue of health through physical and mental conditioning and promoting a more balanced environment, since bikes are a non-polluting mean of transportation.
COOMAP, for 65 years Cultivating work, harvesting results.
