Jan 16 2010 to May 15 2010 - 11 800km By Bicycle Through 10 countries
Route Map
Overview of the Race
The Tour features 96 cycling days or stages, averaging 123 km (77 miles) each, broken up by 22 rest days and 2 days of ferry boat travel for a total of 120 days in traversing Africa from north to south. Stages range from 80 km on rough terrain to more than 180 km on the best paved roads.
Traveling through 10 countries in all (Eygpt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa), I will cycle along the Nile past ancient temples, through the Sudanese desert, and up and down the biblical landscapes of Ethiopia's rugged Simian Mountains. After crossing the Equator in Kenya, I will pedal past legendary Mount Kilimanjaro, to Lake Malawi, Victoria Falls, and along the edges of the magnificent Kalahari and Namib deserts, en route to the finish of the epic journey in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

Hey Steph. Be kind to your toe, you'll need it. And don't forget, when in Malawi watch out for my 'PLAN' buddy, Pilirani Chidetsa; he's a handsome 20-year-old now.
