Wow Congratulations on getting to the tropics again. Love your photos. Thanks for posting about where you are going… was wondering which countries you are heading to.

Are you still thinking you will be going to be in Italy in March?? I am trying to get Book club to be thinking Book CLub in Italy in March…..do you think its too hard to plan that far in advance……considering you are not sure about detours you might have to take….

What roads/routes are you taking – main or other?

Take care, and good health to you both!

Hutch

I have wondered what you two have been doing.
I’m glad that you only suffered a loss of glasses.

I have had trouble using mefliquine in Vietnam in 2003 and in Africa in 2006, and so, the last several years when I was traveling in Asia I switched to Doxycycline. Oh, I followed your adventures while I was traveling in Asia this past February through May. It’s been fun to tag along with you guys. Mike S.

Hi Folks, David, Julie & Glenda are leaving Durban this morning Tuesday 25th May 2010 & heading for Shaka Rock. I took them to a bike store to get some spares & then to Gateway Mall (the largest mall in the Southern Hemisphere) to stock up on supplies, then we met some friends of mine for dinner. They look well rested & ready for the next ride. The next few days will take them through the KZN coastal holiday towns before heading into the heart of Zulu Land. The weather is fantastic, not a breath of wind & the temp should get up to no more than +/- 23deg C. I hope they get a chance to take a swim in the warm Indian Ocean. Have fun guys & enjoy your ride along the dolphin coast & then in the Kingdom of the Zulu. Loads of love, Ebby & Jo-Ann.

Thanks for the detailed pics of the racks. I did 7300 feet of climbing this past weekend, but I was on a Silvio and carrying nothing but water and minimal tire repair items. 160,000 meters of climbing through the Andes with a loaded bike is beyond my comprehension.

I’d love to see a picture of the new drivetrain, with the chain guard, when you get the chance. And of course pictures of Africa. Enjoy your “orbit” and ride on!

Hi David and Julie. I saw one House episode where the patient posted his mysterious illness symptoms on the Internet and he eventually got a cure (House himself posted the cure and got the reward money!). Maybe your doc will do the same. Hope you’re feeling better. There can be worse places than Stellenbosch to be stranded. They invented the Pinotage winegrape there. Have you tried the wine? Is the Scouting movement big there? Why did they name a road after Baden-Powell?

We were saddened to hear of Valdo’s death. He was a 66-year-old Brazilian priest, one year into a four year, around-the-world bike tour for peace. We met unexpectedly on August 3rd (his photo is on my blog) in El Remolino, Colombia; both of us on Cruzbikes! Valdo seemed so joyful and full of life, but none of us know how long we have. If I should pass away on this trip, let my epitaph read: “He lived until he died.”

Hi David and Julie,

Congratulations on finishing South America. That is fantastic. Your photos are amazing. Some sad news to report, not sure if you heard about it… Valdo passed away in late February. He almost made it to California. I wrote what I know about it on my blog here: http://www.cruzbike.com/content/well-miss-you-valdo

I can’t wait to hear about Africa. Happy trails!
