5 More Ridiculous Travel Experiences
We have done so many bone head moves traveling and have had so many close calls in potentially dangerous situations, that I had to add a part two to our list. So here are some more ridiculous situations that could have gone bad, but luckily didn’t and now we can laugh about them. 5; Having [...]
Let’s Bike 207 km on the Elephant Highway in Botswana
Yes, it was a very big week. 5 century’s (100 mile days) in a row with a 207 km day smack dab in the middle of it all. It was surprisingly not too bad. The winds were co-operating and the road was flat, so we just put on our I Pods and peddled the days [...]
Victoria Falls, Adventure, Adrenaline, Nature. What a Rush.
Victoria Falls-What a Rush How do you spell adrenaline? V-I-C- F-A-L-L-S. We had the most amazing rest days here in Livingstone Zambia, home of the mighty Victoria Falls. Dave has always threatened that he would bungee jump in Victoria Falls if we ever made it there. Unfortunately, I thought that I would never have to [...]
Three Months into the Tour d’Afrique; the Pressure’s on.
If all goes well, on May 10th we will be riding into Cape Town. These last three months have been some of the most difficult and challenging times of our life. Dave and I do tend to put a lot of pressure on our selves though. He is still one of the few hanging on [...]
Its Smooth Sailing; Cycling In the Sudan
We went from the lowest of lows to fantastic highs in a short time. After our rest day in Dongola, we had tarmac all the way to Khartoum. 4 days that consisted of 140km, 140km, 160km and 100km. We were racing down the highway with great tailwinds. We were reaching speeds of 57km/hr and that is not going downhill.
Suffering While Cycling the Sudan
According to Rae and John, two retired Air Force Pilots who are taking part in the Tour this year, what we have been through these past 2 weeks is as difficult as basic training for the military. And I believe it! These past 4 days have been the most mentally and physically challenging days of [...]
Surprise Stop in Wadi Halfa, Sudan
I know that I told you that you wouldn’t be hearing from us for awhile, but here we are in Wadi Halfa, Sudan at an internet Cafe. Our trucks are late arriving from Egypt, so we are staying an extra day at the border. I have to say that I am really happy about that. [...]
Safaga, Egypt
4 Days in the desert and 544km later and we have arrived in Safaga, Egypt. No it is not a rest day, we just rode our butt’s off to get here early to enjoy this little scenic town on the Red Sea. It caused a little bit of excitement to finally be able to take [...]
The White Desert of Egypt, Don’t Miss it!
About 2 weeks before we left Toronto, we read an article in Mountain Life Magazine about the White Desert in Egypt. It looked like a fascinating place and we decided that we have to go there. Our bike route however, didn’t go near the place because it is situated in the centre of the country. [...]
Birkram Yoga
Since coming home from Africa 10 months ago, I have found that I have had a hard time becoming inspired by things. Once you have climbed Africa’s highest peak, cycled through the most remote part of the Sudan, followed the Nile south to its source and jumped over Victoria Falls great gorge, going out for [...]
Presentation at MEC
We had a super turn out at Mountain Equipment Co-op downtown Toronto last night. We want to put a big thanks out to Nani for organizing it and inviting so many people. It wouldn’t have been the same success without him. It was their most successful event to date, and we will be putting on [...]
Multimedia Presentation at Mountain Equipment Co-op
It has been exactly 1 year since we left for Africa to cycle down this great continent. We had no idea what we were in for. But we made it through and definitely experienced one of the most unique adventures that anyone could have. On January 27th we are going to re-live every detail in [...]
