Mine was from when I joined "Riding to Break the Cycle 2008" last summer and biked from Vancouver to Mexico. It was highly rewarding personally and at the same time I got to help make the world a better place by fundraising for microcredit. I highly recommend everyone to join this summer! (Details below)
