Change. Of Course.
/4 Comments/in Africa, Namibia, Travelogue /by allanMaybe it was each of the continuous 20km without even ten meters of relief of perhaps the worse corrugated, rocky and gravely road I’d been on during my trip. Bone jarring, teeth rattling and bike beating nasty washboard with spots of deep gravel. Or peradventure, was it the 130km of dirt riding requiring heavy concentration […]
The Sandy Wet Ride to Namibia
