Getting dehydrated

THE SPONSOR OF MY BICYCLE SPARE PARTS IS COMPANY PRODUCING FINE BICYCLE SADDLES www.abi.com.pl


Dehydration is my new companion!!
I am still on my big chase north. The summer is approaching and I just don't have time to be here if I am to move through so many more miles to my final destination.
Further more the Northen Cape province is full of mountains. Every day I'm doing around 120 km, sometimes more. Towns and farms are further apart which means that I have to carry more water with me.
On one day when it was 41 degrees celcius and I was hiding in the shade of a tree I met another cyclist. This guy was something special!
When I was hiding he was cycling. He was cycling all the way from Cairo in just 70 something days with the aim to break the record of the fastest human powered African crossing from Cairo to Cape Town. His website is worth a look - http://www.fairwaterbikechallenge.com/.
Just amazing! We have swapped some notes and enjoyed a friendly chat and then later on in during the cool of the afternoon we said good bye and good luck to each other and went on with our journeys...
It is nice here but deserts and cycling are not a good match! So I am moving on again.....


I JUST LOVE MY BIKE!
