28 May

Today was a fairly long ride of 550km from San Miguel to Tepic which is a town on route to Mazatlan where we catch a ferry tomorrow afternoon to Baja California so it was all about making distance and Tepic is not a town that we would head to ordinarily as it is a bit of a dump!

Our days ride…

Typical view on a Mexican road…

That aside, the route was quite pretty and it took us through a Unesco World heritage site devoted to the Agave plant and the Tequila industry which was great to see, that aside, the day was uneventful!

Miles and Miles of Agave plantations!!

 
Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
