As we head off...

The team enjoyed a very energetic community send-off on Sunday morning from Hamburg: vuvuzelas blowing, flags flying and arms waving. Dr Carol Baker of the Keiskamma Trust and other members of the Hamburg community joined us on their bikes as we set off on the first leg of the cycle tour from Hamburg. The team covered 85km on this first day despite a total of 5 punctures! Many thanks to Dave and Colleen of the Fountain Vineyard Church who kindly hosted us in their home and their church on Sunday evening. Well rested on Monday, we set of from Port Elizabeth with very favourable weather conditions. Despite many challenging hills, the team were able to cycle 110km which was 30km more than the planned distance for the day. We then headed back for a refreshing swim in Jeffrey's Bay.
