Follow the world bike tour

On September 17 at the Space 2009 International Trade Fair in Rennes, France, Martine Brouwer and Arnaud Baranger started an extraordinary cycling tour around the world. Within a time span of one year, they will travel through 18 countries in Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, Oceania and South America in order to meet a host of dairy business players. Companies that are active in the dairy sector will support the duo from beginning to end in this mentally challenging and sportive adventure and Lely is among those supporters.

Martine (age 29) was a dairy advisor in France after having worked for Lely. Arnaud (age 28) was manager of Agrigam, an ArcelorMittal division specialized in steel roofing and cladding solutions for livestock housing.

You can find more information on the project on the dedicated website of the cyclists: www.suivez-nous.fr
