Started out this morning at 7.30am - the majority of people suffering from aches and pains and tired legs. There is also a lot of people who are walking with a wide gait and finding sitting down a little uncomfortable and the amount of details some people are going into about their sore 'bits' is quite frankly too much information!! The first section was through the town and the traffic was stopped to allow us to get through without too much disruption although ...

The photo is of the door next to our hotel room, security is obviously not a priority for the Kenyans..... In fact this hotel deserves a special mention - dirty sheets, dirty curtains and a general air of grubbiness. Thank goodness for the last minute purchase of cotton sleeping bags so we didn't actually have to touch any of the hotel linen. Apparently this is a better hotel to the one that Group 1 had - I can only imagine what horrors they had to endure.

The views this morning were just magnificent, I have never cycled in such a beautiful place. It was truly awesome. We have cycled a fantastic route today.

The uphill was challenging, but at least half of the group (Myself, Gemma & Alyson included) all got to the top. Afte...

The day started with a 06.00 wake up call (well it should have been - they actually woke us at 05.50.....) We were ready for the off at 7.30, a quick group warm up (or public humiliation as it seems to be) and we set off. Today was a shorter day, just 58kms and the terrain was much less hilly. We cycled a short first section to a beautiful view point into the Rift Valley. The second section started with an amazing downhill about 5kms long. The road surface w...

This is my second attempt at today's blog - I managed to delete the first one when trying to upload it..... I totally underestimated the Kenyan hills - there are lots and lots and lots of hills. Not steep hills but hills that just go on and on and on and on.... Today's route was split into 6 sections, 4 before lunch and 2 after. We had a quick warm up and set off at 7.15am. During the first section we had a police escort through the first village, the second s...
