Suffering with a spot of comfort
Just a quick update to say I’m still alive. The mobile broadband solution I purchased in Egypt stopped working in most of Sudan presumably due to the challenges in that country.
We finished a stretch of 8 consecutive riding days yesterday with a 107km road ride featuring over 2500 meters (7900 feet) of climbing. I learned a lot about myself, my limits, what my true goals are for this trip, and finally (and most painfully), I learned how to suffer through severe heat, illness, and physical injury.
Updates to follow!
Round and round we go 
Hang in there big guy the pains of the last 8 days will pay off later in your journey, Big Time! Great to see you back on-line.
