We find a sidewalk tailer that used his peddle powered singer knock off to repair my friend David’s tent. David is an analyst for Sky Telecom in the UK.
Coming into Gonder
Fanta stop with Coffee in back ground
Sign near Gonder
Stage 24 – Gedarif to Gonder
102 km (13.4 kph average), 7:39 hrs riding time, 7504’ vertical feet (fastest speed 74.6 kph).
The total time in saddle and fastest speed tells the story of the days climbing and descents.
The first 20km were mostly spent climbing and descending before we started a steep climb.
Did I mention how steep the climb was? Well I ended up drafting off a donkey that was walking uphill with a load of sticks! Yes walking. It was going to be a long day.
I finally reached the hotel. A beauty over looking the city of Gonder and beginning of two rest days. Time to relax, do laundry, service the Bike and catch up on the blog.
Sign brings back thoughts of our many evenings with Randy eating at least 2 scoops of ice cream.
Know that he and George are following you from above on your journey.
Stay strong and peddle on………………..you are very special to everyone.
