Rider Comments on the Sudan

'I've never ridden through more inhospitable terrain, nor met more hospitable people.' -Sarah B- 'Only seven more sections until I wash again! Sudan – difficult to get into, but well worth the trouble.' -Andy P- 'The first three weeks of this trip were even more exciting than I dreamed it to be.' -Markus W- 'Sand and bumps with a cold Coke.' -Sean C.- 'You guys are doing a real good job. I am very surprised how good the tour is organized and really good the food is. Thanks a lot.' -Walter B- 'Pleasure and Pain.' -Nels H- ‘Awesome start. Looking forward to the next few months.’ -Remy B- ‘Happiness is… food, music, my bike, and an open road through Africa.’ -Patrick T- ‘It may be a Pharaoh’s Delight, but my bum is in a plight.’ -Jan E- ‘Sleepless cyclists under a Soft Sudanese moon From their winded tents, a fart.’ -Darrel W- ‘An amazing experience – it was both harder and easier than expected.’ -Tom B- ‘Beautiful, sparse and very friendly.’ -Alice R- ‘Why am I riding in the sand???’ -Vivian H- ‘Impressive and inspiring; the TDA team and spirit, the cycling, and especially the Sudanese scenery and people.’ -Eva N- ‘Far above my expectations.’ -Eric S- ‘I am surprised about the very friendly people and love the beautiful different areas. The TDA organization is very good. It’s totally fantastic.’ -Gerhard S- ‘Have you even noticed that those riding slower than you are idiots and those going faster are maniacs.’ -Gunther T- ‘It was like the first date with Africa; colleagues of the tour and nice staff.’ -Lucette L- ‘From Cairo to Aswan this section was very good in terms of roads, monuments, and the temperature. From Wadi Halfa to Khartoum this section was a nightmare at the beginning. There was nothing that resembled a road. It was only deep sand and very hot temperatures. But finally we found roads into Khartoum.’ -Joash A- ‘Grievous, tandem, wreck, challenge.’ -Douglas S-
