Warthogs & Windhoek

The final stage of the “Elephant Highway” section brought us no elephants, only a nasty headwind and some warthogs. The race distance was short with the finish line being at lunch. It was a relaxed atmosphere with the whole crew being there at once, enjoying yummy sandwiches, oranges, a crisp cool morning (oh welcome back cold temperatures!) that had everyone in warm gear. After that the hills arrived in full force to remind everyone that they were back for the duration of the trip and that, combined with the headwind, made for a slow afternoon. After navigating our way through the beautiful city of Windhoek, we are now safely in our campsite for the next two days, the Arrebusch Travel Lodge. Tomorrow, we have another bike donation ceremony at Joe’s Beer House, a fine establishment that offers cold beverages and a decent sized serving of food. We are using that to entice the riders to come along too. A few riders are off to the red dunes for a bit of quad-biking fun and the rest…oh you know, the usual…eat, sleep, clean, eat, drink and for the lucky ones…watch some satellite tv. We bid farewell our two sectional riders Ian and Alicia and we will be welcoming to lovely boys from Israel who will join us for the final section into Cape Town. Apparently, the weather has turned cold further south so break out the winter woollies and bring on the cold air and a touch of snow on the mountains – apparently!
