Today was another day where we elected the long loop rather than the direct route in order to get to do one of the 20 most scenic drives through the US. The 440km ride from Moab to Bryce Canyon continued to divulge more of this country’s awesome beauty… as well as a $115 speeding fine for doing 78mph in a 60 zone!!

Days ride…

It is not uncommon to go from plains to desert to forest, 1000m to 3000m, 35C to 10C and back, all within the space of 5 hours and 400km. The US is truly a world within one country and we are loving the unfolding discovery that everyday has to offer.

We are spending the night at Bryce Canyon and tomorrow we head for Salt Lake city where we are going to spend two nights.

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.
