Tour d'Afrique 2010 has already begun... for some
The riders on the 2010 Tour d'Afrique will roll out of Cairo on January 16, 2010, but the tour has already begun for the South and East African support crew.
Congregating in Nairobi over the last week, they have finalized their Sudanese and Ethiopian visas, cleaned and tuned the vehicles, bought supplies, and they are now set to embark on the long drive north to meet the Tour d'Afrique in Cairo - it will be Christmas and New years in Sudan for this group.
The truck convoy includes two overland trucks and a Landcruiser - all customized to Tour d'Afrique's needs.
These fortunate few will have the pleasure of taking the ferry to Egypt from Sudan to meet us in Cairo, only to turn around and start heading south again - supporting the riders on the eighth annual tour.
For the Tour d'Afrique riders, if you see the crew around the hotel looking a little tired, and dirty, just remember how they got to Cairo. I am sure none of them would say no to a cold beer if you offered.
To the crew currently on the road - safe travels and see you in Cairo - inshallah.
