Cycling from Harare to CapeTown.
If you can't run walk etc. etc. Alas, I am wingless and so must go via bicycle. I have been hoarding my leave like a miser and instead of lying by the pool with a worthy book the tingle in my toes tells me that it is time to go. Instead of relaying rationale in stylised bullet points I can best describe the want to just get on a bike and go only as an urge. As much as it would be great to go with nothing but a backpack my back will not let me. Any advice, suggestions, donations or sponsorships are most appreciated. I feel Harare to Cape Town is ambitous enough a start for any following venture; hopefully I could also scrape a couple days off but the goal is to not set any records but enjoy the journey before the destination.
