A rough night and maximum dosage of Imodium, and I still wasn't any better. The doctor has given me some strong antibiotics to stop it, but so far they don't seem to be working. I've had new experiences today of projectile evacuation from both ends, in bushes! I can't even keep any fluid down. I arrived at one of the water stops, and needed to find a bush. I took a long walk to ensure that I was a far away from everyone at the stop. I found the perfect set of bus...

Today was hell day, and for more reasons than just the mountain to climb! Started off with driving back along the road we had taken the day before. Only after all the storms last night, it had become impassable to our buses. So with a troop of highly organised women, we built a road out of rocks for the buses to drive over, where the floods had washed the road away. With a lot of laughter, cheering and a hour and a half later, all three buses had crossed our new...

A interrupted nights sleep and being sick so much yesterday, had left me feeling drained today. I started the ride feeling like I had nothing left in my tank.

I have now mastered the art of vomiting whilst riding, so it doesn't interrupt my pace!! I struggled on and i was rewarded with a fantastic experience. We stopped at the top of t...

We arrived at the Soi Safari Hotel after a very bumpy journey. Welcomed with fruit juice and cold flannels which was lovely. Done the usual, get to room, shower, go to dinner. After the evening little talk about the day and whats happening the next day, we were all ready to head off to bed. Just as we were about to go, the staff came into the dining room, almost like a conga, but they were singing and went round the room a couple of times until they brought out ...

I know what hell is now, it's cycling 99km in Kenya in the heat! Started off the day with a scary down hill, quickly followed by a massive up hill. That was pretty much how the day went. The hills are endless, going on for miles. The only hill I know in the UK that compares to these hills, is called Ben Nevis! We were up at 5:30, and after a photo shoot, off out on the roads at 7:20. By 10 it was hot, relentless hot sun and no shade. I started being sick a...
