Stage 36 – Turbi to Marsabit
122.5 km, 18kph, Avg 7:10 hrs, 3000 vertical (guess)
Hot! Headwind! Hills! Long day with headwind that slowed us to a crawl as we rode across a lava landscape that looked like mars.
Few people and towns as we worked for every foot. But we saw the old dirt road and could only imagine what riders had to do just three years ago.
Highlights:
- Staying at a covenant with nuns who met our riders with cold beer
- Chocolate, soda and yogurt!
- Rest day!
That’s a brutal stretch. We had the same conditions. I loved staying at the convent. Loving the blogs Morris.
Another wonderful special stop with time for reflection and rest. Chocolates & yogurt a well deserved treat 😉
Photos continue to be breathtaking. Morris as Dick would say “enjoy the moment.”
Stay Safe and Peddle On…………………..
Nice work Morris. Keep the comments and pictures coming.
