Day 73 – Longest day on the trip

208km, 27.9 kph, 7:29 hrs (Note: average includes 3km of soft sand road and 15km dirt road)

Average heart rate 130bpm

Longest day on trip for mileage about 140 miles. I give in kilometers because that is what we are working in. To convert just multiply kilometers by .67.

I decided to give this one my best and rode hard by myself almost all day. I arrived at the Namibian border at about 1:45 and was pleased. I rode the last 20 kilometers with David.

The border crossing was smooth. Into camp, shower, laundry, tent up, SIMM card, Ice cream and a few snap shots of the local woman in their beautiful outfits and hats. I also interviewed a San (slang for bushman) a distinctive group of natives, characterized by their small size and clicking language.

Now it’s time to meditate, rest up and catch up on blog.
