Michael Hufelschulte, spokesman of the society, about the announcement "We have decided to book the ships in the beginning of this year and therewith laid the foundation for the GBI 2011." Background: Those river criusing ships must be booked about 1.5 years in advance. In the coming weeks the organisers (the Tour Board) will work on the details. |

New GBI Champion for Germany
After the third GBI there is another change in the role of a GBI Champion. Dieter Klein has taken care of the German participants for two years and hands over this responsibility to Dirk Rheydt now. A big thank you to Dieter for the support we have received over these years.
Probably most of the GBI participants know Dirk Rheydt. He is leading the BSS Solution Line team at Vodafone D2 and is also heading up the company internal cycling team 'Vodafone Bikers'. In the next years there will now be even more activities on the desk for Dirk. These are e.g. the organisation of the GBI Welcome Party in 2011 or a lot of events before or after the annual GBI tour. Dirk is full of energy and we wish him great success in his new role! |

New GBI Champion for Ägypten
After two very successful years it seems to be time for a change. Moataz BahyElDin hands over the role as local GBI Champion in Egypt to Mohamed Moshref. In 2008 there were two people from Egypt with us cycling to Newbury: Moataz and Hazem. In 2009 Moataz managed to return then with 30 other colleagues - a factor 15 increase! In 2010 he then had the challenge to assess 70 people who showed interest in the GBI and agree on the final 40 who were allowed to join the 2010 tour. With Moataz and his friends the chapter about the Egyptian GBI team became the successful story as we know it. Many thanks in the name of all of us for this great effort and success!
With Mohamed Moshref we will have another very experienced GBI participant with us. At the beginning of last year he did not own a bicycle and his experience about cycling was 13 years old. But when he heard about the plan to cross the Alps he took the challenge on and managed well prepared these 2.000 Meters of the St. Gotthard. With immediate effect Mohamed will take care of all belongings from the Egyptian team and we wish him in his new role great success and a lot of satisfying moments!
