147km cycled today.....first 25 km in convoy with a police escort getting
out of Khartoum....quite a mission and created quite an event for the
locals..... Not an attractive cycle though...
Then we split up and the road was the most uninspiring todate.....real 3rd
world stuff....and a narrow road with lots of trucks with double trailers
flying past us cm's from the bike.....!
Either side of the road was flat and full with plastic bags blowing around,
a constant dust cloud, and lots of dead domestic animals lying on the side
of the road.....the worst ride to date, but one I had expected earlier on
the trip. Apparently the next three days of Sudan are like this, before we
enter the new environment of Ethiopia.
Hope you all enjoyed the newsletter...please don't hesitate to provide

Thats about it for now!
