FOREM ketemu Charles Zimmermann

Kali ini FOREM melakukan "tour de pecel Yu SRI Klaten". Tepatnya tanggal 14 Februari 2010, tapi baru kali ini dirilis (maklum blog FOREM Cycling Club baru di-launching bulan Maret 2010). Rute kali ini menuju ke arah timur dari base camp PT Intan Pariwara. Rute pendek memang, kira-kira 21 km, mungkin rute terpendek yang pernah ditempuh FOREM hingga saat ini.

Perjalanan kali ini terasa sangat istimewa bagi FOREM. Ketika sampai di pos utama yaitu RM Yu Sri Klaten, FOREM bertemu dengan seorang pesepeda keliling dunia asal Brazil yaitu Charles Zimmermann. Dia sebenarnya sudah mulai bersepeda ke ASIA dan INDIA pada tahun 2004. Kali ini merupakan perjalanan keliling dunia yang sudah dilakukan selama 3 bulan.
