So in addition to being a wonderful way to connect with local Kenyans and promote peace and AIDS awareness, the cycling itself has been just plain fun. Today we enjoyed beautiful sunshine (until some rain at the very end of the day), beautiful scenery, and covered over 60km of highway. The roads so far have been in great shape, we haven't had nearly as many flat tires as we were anticipating in a group this large (probably only 5 or 6 so far), and not very many serious mechanical breakdowns either. The hills have been challenging and fun; after a day of getting used to the bicycles, everyone charges up those hills pretty fast. I'm very impressed with how strong all of the riders are.
And the camaraderie among riders has been wonderful, it is too bad that we only have 3 more days to spend riding with them.
