Daily Kilometers: 110/170/140/130/140/95/rest

aagghh ... 170km on day two!!!

Day one was tiring - the convoys are slow and tedious! The adrenalin and excitement all made us very tired.

Day two was not too bad ... actually very good .. but long

Day three was awesome ... eat your shorts all you cyclists!!!! 140km at an average of over 42km/h. We completed it in under 3h30 with a lunch break, on an MTB!! ... But I must admit that we had no real hills and a gale force wind of note pushing us along!!!

Today was not 130 ... closer to 110km. Bombed along with the wind again ... ran out of gears several times and clocked 78km/h at one stage - was even doing 54km/h uphill!!

Unfortunately this euphoria will end soon ... probably tomorrow as we head for the mountains, direction Luxor ... and the wind in our faces ... I recon my good mood will be destroyed half way through tomorrow morning.

Day after tomorrow will be a quick 95km into Luxor and a rest day to follow ... so the first very important WASHING DAY will soon be upon us!
