Day 1 – 115km 854 m vertical. We road from Cairo to the ancient port city of Sokhna “the hot spring” in Arabic. Long day with head winds which tapered off as we came into view of the Red Sea. Fresh fish and the largest pelicans I’ve ever seen. Looking forward to a hot shower and hot meal. So far the ribs are holding up with no grating noises or frothy red foam coming out of my mouth. I am glad I made it.
