I share the feeling of Alessandro regarding the preference to cycle through Egypt and yet the reality on the ground may dictate otherwise. Given the experience and knowledge of the TDA re Egypt, we will trust in your judgment to make the appropriate decision for the benefit and safety of all.

I too hope that the TDA is able to keep to starting in Cairo. This kind of trip involves all sorts of risks, and I think the riders are comfortable with there being risks. I know for myself that being able to meet Egyptians and talk to them about their country would be a plus. Also, I’d like to do all of Africa.

So I hope the TDA can start there. That being said, though, I trust and know that the TDA folks will make the decision that’s best for the riders and staff.

Hey, I will ride with you from Cairo to Cape Town in 2014.
I hope the TDA staff postpones the decision whether to start in Cairo or not to the latest moment, since I’m sure many of us would like to ride through Egypt and the egyptian people surely don’t want to invovle people from other nations in there conflict so we should be safe. However I can understand that we can’t take too many risks.

Hopefully calm is ristored in Egypt for the sake of everyone!

In reply to Anthony corker. Hi Anthony, there is no official deadline. You just have to have time to arrange visas, shots, flights, etc. Look forward to you joining us.

After having experienced the organizing and contingency plans organized by our Tour Director and TDA on the 2012 Silk Road Tour, I have complete faith and feel very comfortable with the decisions made by TDA. Your experience is most gratifying.
