Take a deep breath South America, here we come.Tales from the saddle.

I've always had a passion for cycling since I was young child. I've been fortunate to travel to many places through racing and touring over the years. I recently completed a 4 month tour of Eastern Europe with my good friends Peter Felvus and Len DeMoss, now it's time to take on South America. On the 28th July 2014 I will ride over 11,000kms to reach the bottom of the world. Come along and join me on another amazing journey.

Longest day of tour : 207km's

Hi All

Here is the latest update.

Today was the longest day of the tour 207km which was expected to be a very challenging day for all riders, that it was. As you all are aware by now that getting up in the early hours of the morning is not a strong point of mine, i slowly dragged myself out of bed to prepare myself for the long 207km ride.We left Kwaha Lodge for the long ride to Namibia just shortly after breakfast.The road was flat and their was a slight tailwind for the first part of the day, until the rain and huge storms struck 2 hours into the ride which brought horrendous headwind to the riders for about 50km's. After battling the weather all day we made camp about 3pm, im glad as my legs have had enough for one day. I will enjoy resting up this afternoon.

With only 2.5 weeks until Cairo to Capetown 2011 wraps up, i thought i would take you all on a trip down memory lane and revisit some of dads photo's over the last 4.5 months. Enjoy !
