Enduro Africa 2007

Simon Stokes is going to ride a motorbike 2,500km across Africa, to raise money for *Riders for Health* charity. The donations will provide a motorbike and training for the charity that distributes aid and medicine to Africa's most difficult areas to reach. Each motorbike saves an estimated 20,000 lives. This blog is a commentary of my epic journey to (and then through) Africa, for all the right reasons...

Riders on the storm...

Donate now please ---->
The bikes that are used for the 'Enduro Africa' 2,500km ride are then left in Africa to do their good work, distributing healthcare, medicines and aid to remote parts and providing priceless lifelines. The bikes used are mildly modified trail bikes that are very hard-wearing (they have to be when you're being chased by a water buffulo) and can cope with serious terrain. They look ok, sound ok (roaring lions?and handle well.
Most importanly they get out to the places that are both difficult to reach... and to get out of! Often places that can't be reached by car (too rough) or helicopter (too pricey).
Must be hot in all that gear though.
