Check out the photos, and you’ll understand why I’m cutting it short today. 🙂
And thanks to everyone who has commented on yesterday’s post. Really appreciate hearing from you!
Stage 4: El Gouna – Safaga (Egypt), 82km
Road & traffic condition:
Excellent tarmac, just a few rough patches in between where they are fixing the road.
Weather:
Nice 🙂
Culinary highlights:
Managed to find wine in a beer drinking (tourist) country 🙂  On a serious note, Errol’s roast beef kept us all very, very happy!
Group highlights:
First night camping, and that at a pretty good spot
Personal highlights:
Was the first one to get butt sores (wasn’t blogging about that). Taped moleskin onto it this morning, and what a transformation that was! All good again 🙂
Nice you keep us posted. But don´t let it take too much time. And thre will be Days when you can´t. Photos reminds me about roads in Saudi Arabia !
So nice to follow your blog!
The very best wishes from Niklas Frisk mother….
Thank you!
Hi Alex,
Thumbs up for your amazing blog – very interesting and well written!!! So nice to read about you having a good time … I do understand that its quite a trade-off regarding time! Just don’t forget to enjoy ….
I will try hard to keep up with reading all your posts though its not that easy when trying to limit media time during the day – your little nieces always do stupid stuff meanwhile or steal my unlocked device for their one use! …
Greetings and hugs from snowy switzerland

Hi Sabine, so nice to hear from you, and thanks for your nice words. Kisses and hugs to everyone! xx
Great looking campsite
Thanks Alex – great blogging about your great adventure – hope it continues to be as much fun.
Please say hello to my mate Philip D from Leatherhead, England … I’ve done a fair bit of cycling around the Surrey Hills with him as part of his preparation last year … but not quite 120+ km a day for 4-6 days on the trot for 4 months!!
Good luck to you and all your new friends
Thanks Dale for your good wishes. Philip is in good shape, you must have trained well!
“Your truly” brought a huge smile to my face. Not too shabby a view to wake too in the morning.
Happy cycling Alex.
Me again. Don’t want to put my nose into it, but looked at your seat assembly. I see it is attached very forward on saddle frame. As your bike is custom should the saddle post not be more tonthe middle of the saddle. On mine they attached it to the front cause the bike was so small. Check it out, think it should come more back on post.
Yes, it’s already all the way back as far as it goes. Am having some issues with my outside knee, but playing around with the seating position helps a lot. Been cycling without cleats as my knee was killing me on the first day. But adjusting the position, going at low gear and standing while climbing helps a lot. Slowly getting the hang of it 🙂
