I couldn't stop reading...!!

Today's post: Down, and almost out, in Dodoma.

"This road will break your spirit, if you let it… I remained calm, trying to focus on the section just ahead of me at all times… ..

"I removed the top-box and the tank bag to make it a bit lighter, pressed the starter, and….nothing happened!

Read about Ronnie's "..13 hours of anxiety, exhaustion, desperation, agitation, and frustration" and how he got separated and re-united with his kit…

Thanks for the link Pauli!

This is a trip we all would like to do. But we all cling to the rate race… remember even if you are in front of all the rats, you’re still a rat.
