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...

and we're off..

First 260 km today. All safe. Swam in the sea with dolfins. Then on the bikes. Over river gorges, dusty trails and lots of sand. Only 2 bikes crashed. Tomorrow the real deal starts. Fantastic organisation.

T minus 10 days and counting


Packing... checking... sorting... copying... repacking... training... testing... remembering... repacking... thinking... registering... insuring... cleaning...


Too many ing's... not enough 'ed's. And not much 'riding' in this weird weather. 'Climate change' is like saying 'predictable rugby'...


Better go and repack!
