Sand Sand Everywhere
Here we are less than 24 hours before we start our epic journey across the continent and Mother Nature is having a little fun with us. 50 km/hr winds and blowing, blinding sand. Right now you almost can’t see across the street and the pyramids have completely disappeared! We can only hope things calm down for our early 7:30 am departure…and if not perhaps the wind will be at our backs.
Boring but VERY necessary! Rider meetings and bike prep. Group leader Tallis, walked us through most of the important details on how to survive as a group cycling across an entire continent. We are all itching to get underway but still one more day of meetings and prep to go!
Arrived Cairo! All my bags have made it and my bike seems to be in one piece! Spent the morning meeting fellow riders and assembling my bike. Picked up a local data SIM card so I can function. The hotel wifi is a bit overwhelmed. 😉 Time to wander over to the pyramids!!
