Hello Egypt!
Arrived in Egypt via London, but my bike didn't make it. Good time to relax and use patience.
All Packed!
Thank you to Crystal from Spur Cross Cycles who really helped me out. She spent hours making sure my bike was safely boxed for the flight to Egypt.
Pre-ride Checkups
My good friend and Thoracic Surgeon, Neil Steinoff, visited me weekly for checkups
Encouragement from my Good Friend
My great friend Dennis Wilson. He was to do the first two stages of the ride but a car hit him and badly injured his foot. We’ll miss you Dennis!
My Nerves are on Edge
I'm waiting for my new front fork and wheels set to arrive. With my unfortunate crash, I haven't been able to put a significant amount of miles on this new bike. It makes me a little nervous.

Back in the Saddle
Today was my first time back on the bike after my unfortunate meeting with a motor vehicle. Though I broke 4 ribs and punctured my lung, I know I have to get cranking if I'm going to ride the TDA.
Bicycle Nomad Cafe
Eric Cedeno owner of Bicycle Nomad Cafe in Phoenix has been a great help to me as I prepare for the Tour 'dAfrique. I'm also proud to call him a friend. Thanks Eric!
