My Loveride 2009 experience

Loveride is an annual event which take place in the month of may in Dubendorf, a suburb close to Zurich, Switzerland.Loveride is an event in which 5000 odd bikers participate to give a ride of a lifetime to children who are suffering from Muscular disease.

I attended Loveride 2009, but not as a visitor but as a volunteer to this event. The organizers who the event had distributed task among different team. Intially I was associated with a team which had to load and unload fences/barricades from a truck. First, 100-200 barricades were fine, but finally when the count reached 400 plus, we were very tired and were really very exhasuted.

The main problem for me in this event was the language problem, everybody over there was speaking German language, and I was the only one over there which was a non-german speaker. But one volunteer served as a translator for me, he translated each and every instructions, thus made much easier for me to carry out my task.

But in fact for the first time, I really felt that I have some meaning of my life. I my stay extended, then I would certainly like to participate in few such events in future also.

Thanks&Regards,
