Mzuzu
Lake Malawi turned on some special views for us today as we rode out towards Mzuzu, our destination tonight. The first obstacle was to drag the riders away from the sunset and views and early morning swims... the second about 15 kms into the ride... a 1200 m climb into the hills and away form the lake. 'Hello, I have rediscovered my legs again!' seemed to be the cry from the majority of the riders. It was an awesome day of riding the 135 km stretch into Mzuzu with a tailwind and some cloud cover and the views haven’t stopped even as we all sit relaxing at the campsite.
Chris Maund devoured the hills today and had a strong ride but then again... a lot of the riders enjoyed their day. Andre Thompson, brother of Paddy who joined us from Cape Town summed up his day in the saddle as 'my legs and butt hurt but it was worth it!' Another day in the saddle, another day of sunshine and spectacular views and another kilometer through Africa; Malawi has turned on its charms as have the people and bike heaven continues!
