Apologies to all out there who have been waiting for the updates… we have been in some pretty remote areas running up the coastline… Unbelievable scenery and riding..Plenty of offs .. no major problems though..From the first post when we were all fresh and feisty we now all look slightly more weary..a couple of days we have only travelled 77km and 44km in 8 hours so you can imagine the terrain… plenty of steep descents and near vertical ascents…We had a rest day on wednesday where we went to a vilage school and refurbed some classrooms etc.. One of our team rathers just happened to bring his bagpipes…The look on the 300+ kids faces as a bald bloke with a bag of screaming cats came marching up the hill… hilarious.. in the end he was parading round the school with all the children following him.. just like the pied piper..
We are now at the mbotyi river … after riding 144 km in the rain yesterday . the ravines and hills were like mud baths with rivers over the bikes… slipping and sliding all the way…some call it fun we just take it as another day in heaven!!!!Mbyoti is where the great sardine hunt takes place all the tuna,dolphins, sharks and whales work together to round up the sardines and have a good meal… beautiful place… We ide back up the caost agin today to end up in Port Edward and the end of the trip…
It has been impossible to upload the photos and vid fromhere but watch this space next week… There areb prob over 500pics etc and e will do a full recap with maps and scenes of carnage…. 207km today some road with some little suprises from Mike glover who runs the show…On his little suprises yesterday he fell over a dozen times himself so imagine the rest of the 80+ riders…
back into wet boots and gear now for the final push …see you all next week …
Keep going,not phar now?
