Tour d’Afrique

The Tour Down Under is not the only race/ride to have kicked off this week. Tour d’Afrique did as well. We have a few customers that have tackled at least parts of it. It looks to be part race, part tour, and all survival. It’s 12,500 kilometers in total from Cairo to Capetown. I tell people that our tours are challenging and, for most people, they are. But, it’s all relative. I don’t know what the attrition rate will be for this, but I bet it’s pretty high. I do like this photo. This is a great one.
The TdA website says the event is a test of “mind, body and bike”. There actually is a fourth, five letter word that popped into my head as I refreshed my memory on what this event entails. Best wishes and safe journey to the entrants! Quite an adventure.
