Thursday - 6 days to go

Today I collected the two spare tires for Deirdre’s XT. Suppliers have been out of stock for a while, but the friendly guys at Trac-Mac in Bellville managed to source me a set from another dealer. At home we are in the process of laying everything out on the floor to be checked before it can be packed. I was also shown an article in Leisure Wheels magazine on a couple of guys who did a bike trip on Botswana’s sandiest roads – want to get hold of the mag tomorrow for some weekend reading.
