I thought I'd add a photo of myself from the recent Cairo to Capetown tour, this way you'll know me when you get to Perth.
In relation to the start day of the tour, that's not going to change. The tour will roll out of Perth on Wednesday 1st August 2012, rain, hail or shine. Not that I'm going to worry if it's pouring down rain, because I'll be nice and warm in my vehicle driving to the lunch stop.
Now I know some people will want to start the tour from the shore of Western Australia and ride to the Eastern seaboard of Australia. The cabin/lodge that I 've chosen is approximately 4kms from the airport, and about 20kms from the coast. The reason for this is to get everyone out of the city in one piece and the accommodation is on the road we need to take.
I've arranged with an old school friend who lives in Perth to provide an escort for those cyclists who want to ride from our starting base to the ocean on the Tuesday 31st July, leaving at 1pm. That means your bikes have to ready by this time.
I anticipate the 20km trip will take about 1.5 hours through the traffic to reach the ocean. The group will stay at the beach for photographs for 30minutes and then ride back to the cabin/lodge. The staff have alot to do to get this show on the road so this is the only time I can arrange for this to occur prior to departure.
The staff and vehicles will be arriving on the Sunday 29th July 2012.
Safe riding
Terry.
