Adventure
Our trips are getting a bit more challenging each time. This time no mud-rain-and-hail fest in the North Yorkshire Moors Ramble but some unexpected snow in Marmot’s Land, cramming it into three-and-a-half wonderful days.
Adventure
So, I did a thing.
A year or two after getting goosebumps while watching Wild Horses, The Silk Road Mountain Race documentary, my mate Abel just asked me how serious I was about this race. I answered: “Well, if you’re asking” (read: Let’s dó this!) and the ball started rolling.

For the first time since Lotis, true adventure! We’re riding from Salt Lake City to Denver in a month.

Adventure
Well sailing, i’d rather call it bobbing. After there was no wind, and the diesel-tanks contained water too (which is logical, as the water tanks contained some diesel), this was a pleasurable exercise in patience, thanks to Benno, Captain Gendal and Alexander.
Software development
Finally, I can earn some karma, kudos and points in general: I’m taking over the relay baton from Kevin McKelvin. I’m taking over maintenance and development of EFHooks, a wrapper for the entity frameworks’ DbContext.

For a change no African heat! (the fascination for a tent in its surroundings remains)
Adventure
Our cycling target has been reached! We’re in Opuwo, finally a real African town. It’s great to see the Himba people looking at us looking at them, they’re impressive!
From here on we’re going even more on the tourist trail: visting Epupa falls and Etosha national park. This does not mean the cycling days are over though, and we’re still elegible for spotting elefants and lions in the wild. We’re sleeping with a gasoline burner at hand….when we’re not sleeping in a luxury resort with a pool.
Adventure
Just a few pictures from the initiation: Windhoek to Swakop.
As the weather is quite warm, we’ve shifted our schedule to riding in the early morning and in the evening time, which is very impressive under almost-full moon.
Swakopmund itself is a strange little town, like a desolate shopping mall surrounded by dunes. in the last 50 kilometers the temperature has dropped about 10-15 degrees, and it’s quite chilly here.
