Ressano - Maputo cycling expedition

Saturday 2nd October 2010 a contingent of Clube de Ciclismo de Moçambique cyclists drove to the border town Ressano Garcia, planning to meet up with the LusoAfrica Ciclismo club, who were on a 4 day cycling tour from Johannesburg. Let's just say that things didn't go QUITE according to plan...

Andre and Theron keeping cool

Colette and Richard giving each other moral support

The LusoAfrica "broom wagon". Somehow they lost the rest of the cyclists.

Kallie in the 2m championships

Michael also competing..

And the winner is...... KALLIE, by several bottle lengths

No, Colette wasn't competing.. just waiting to start already!!

And they're off!

Simon still has a sense of humour..

Andre putting on a brave (blue) face

Simon... not smiling anymore

Well, the cycle expedition only managed to hook up with our visitors in Moamba after an interminable wait, were tempted with Beer and Pregos, had to face 25km/hr winds and 42 degrees of heat, but they still all managed to make it to Moamba. Some even went further.. but that's another story (Michael please send us the "after" pictures of your bike!).

Diehard cyclists who pedaled all the way back to Maputo
