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...

Not long to go now...


...(apart from 2,500km!)

With 2 months to go until the start of the "Ride for Life" through Africa, plans are well underway. Most of the kit is ready, the bikes are on order, the tickets are booked and paid for... now I'd better get myself fit ... eek!

The video of the 2006 Enduro Africa showed mountains being climbed (to South Africa's only ski resort), rivers (and I mean rivers, not streams) being forged (and I mean crossed, not counterfeited), a brokwn arm (nice one Steve) and lots of tired but happy souls.

Riders for Helath continues to do fantastic / exemplary work providing both aid and training... a really different charity that doesn't give, it helps.

Ironically, I'm now working at EA (Electronic Arts) which sits well with my own personal EA (Enduro Africa 07)...

Happy trails...
