The last couple of days have truly been awesome, the riding from PE on the N2 was definitely sketchy at times with road works and trucks, however it is always made up for in the epic views I get to experience and the incredible people I get to meet!
I didn't manage to reach Kenton as I originally planned, but there was a town, Alexandria which couldn't of come at a better time for me! I decided that I would spend the night there and from there head off to Grahamstown. I was extremely fortunate to have been given a bed to sleep in at the Heritage Hotel in Alexandria, thank you so much to the very kind people there, definitely a place to visit if you are passing through that part of the world:)
The next day took me on an awesome road where I was super lucky to ride in between game farms and alles. I was able to see Giraffe, monkeys and baboons! What a treat, however it did come with its territory, being Heavy hills and very rough gravel roads! But again was definitely worth it!!
I spent three nights in Grahamstown with my good mate Josh, it was definitely time well spent! Met awesome people and had a great time!! Thanks Josh for everything! What an awesome mate!! Goodluck for all the exams!
I left Grahamstown and cycled into Port Alfred, a super hard ride with heavy weather... But got there nonetheless:) today I cycled to Fish River, one of the worst days on the road for me, with ridiculous head winds, and Rubbish Drivers! But the scenery was still epic:)
Tomorrow will be quite a push to Kidds Beach, especially if the wind doesn't die down, but will still be a good ride I'm sure:)
Thank you to everyone who has been supporting the cause to raise money for Alzheimers, thank you to those who still are going to support the Alzheimers Association in their efforts to make life easier:)
