Bike 2 Africa - Irish Expedition Team |
I have to give this a plug, not only because it’s a great effort, an incredible adventure, but also Julie is a family friend. Bike 2 Africa is going to take 3 Irish students on a trip of a lifetime cycling from Dublin to Capetown in South Africa.
Visit their site… and expect to hear allot about this trip here. The guys leave on December 1st and will spend 6 months in the saddle.

Kind of puts Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman’s plan to do the same thing (albeit down the west coast I think) on motorbikes in perspective!
