FOUR DAYS TO CAPE TOWN

To all friends,family and interested persons;
Contrary to my hopes, computers and internet have been in scarce supply since leaving Windhoek,Namibia.

We are currently 4 riding days away from Capetown.

I have many stories & pictures to share and post.

Between racing and the lack of computers/internet, all further posts will have to wait until cape town.

In brief; I will be in 3rd place overall for the whole race, best ever finish by a canadian in quite some time.

We have (to date) cycled over 10,000kilometers.

Our total elevation gain for the tour (total meters climbed) is over 60,000meters, or 7.5 times up Mt Everest, starting from sea level.!!

We have cycled through 9 countries, and flown over 1 (kenya)

The trip has been awesome. I am truely grateful for the opportunity.

For more info about end of tour ceremonies/celebrations/awards, please refer to the tda website...

Rumour has it many ambassadors from various countries will be in attendance.......

Please be patient, much more to follow in the days ahead.

Thanks for your interest, Chris Wille in South Africa, Near Lamberts Bay
