Mt Kenya Mountain Bike Descent, Safari and Kayak Expedition
25 days and counting...........
Less than 4 weeks until the beginning of the (what we believe to be) first commercial descent of Mt Kenya by mountain bike, and potentially the first ever descent of the Chogoria (east) route. The group has been out training hard both on the bike and hitting the trails by foot, prepping themselves for the trip ahead. It seems that once October 1st came around everyone started to realize how quickly the trip was approaching and there have been some very 'stoked' conversations and emails going around.
Below I have put together a map of (some of the trek/ride) Mt Kenya, outlining altitudes, distances travelled just to give everyone an idea of what we will be up to from October 30th to November 2nd 2007.
So from here on in I will be updating the blog with some regularity, and during the trip, assuiming we can get reception there will be daily updates for the duration of the trip, so be sure to check in often. For now, here are some pictures of past Adventure Trippin Mt Kenya and Kayaking trips.
