Un centenar de personas con discapacidad física, intelectual y sensorial harán el 7 de octubre de 2011, parte del Camino de Santiago en bicicletas adaptadas a sus necesidades. La actividad se desarrollará por octavo año consecutivo, gracias a la Fundación También, al compromiso y la labor de los voluntarios de Solidarios Orange, el apoyo de Xacobeo Galicia, así como la Fundación Repsol, que patrocina el programa de ciclismo adaptado de Fundación También. Según los organizadores, los peregrinos comenzarán su primera etapa este sábado, día 8, que discurrirá entre Fontenlas a Salceda. Tras reponer fuerzas continuarán otros nueve kilómetros desde Ceadoiro hasta Amenal. Ya el domingo 9, saldrán desde Villamayor hacia el simbólico Monte do Gozo, desde donde partirán a la Catedral de Santiago, lugar en el que les recibirá el consejero de Cultura y Turismo de la Xunta de Galicia, Roberto Varela.
Tournride proveerá, por segundo año consecutivo casi 30 bicicletas para que ninguno de los participantes se quede sin cumplir su sueño de entrar en la Plaza del Obradoiro y completar el objetivo de abrazar al Apóstol Santiago.
