Thursday 24th July Breakfast at the hotel was not until 08.00, so it was up at the normal time, then sort the bikes out, replace Linneys tyre. With done and all the bags loaded, we went for breakfast, cottage cheese, fried eggs, yougourt, bread and char tea. On our bikes rolling just after 9, not a problem as we only had 60 odd miles to do today (easy). Stopped just of town to stock up on water and the normal photo shoot. We soon made it out of town on a long road with a little head wind. Once again we get pulled by some security guys who want the customary photos and a telephone conversation with their friend who spoke English. Off we went again, with both the temperature and wind rising. Next the familiar shout went up Linneys rear tyre had disintergrated, it only lasted 12 miles, made in the same place and same quality as the cleats Dave Austen once brought on a previous tour. Swapped the rear tyre for his spare, thinking hope this one is better. Off we went again slow pace into the ever increasing headwind, following a railway line, after 2 1/2 hours riding we had only covered 24miles. Linny spotted a railway halt, tried to knock on the door to get more water to no answer, so we had 10 minutes in the shade. We then heard a train come, we all had the same thought let's jump on it, unfortunately it was going the wrong way. Though the guy did come out with his flags, shooed the camels of the track, then waved the train through. We asked if he had any water, he just pointed over the track and gave us a bucket With rope on we found the well lifted the cover lowered the bucket the water was cold and looked OK, we ran it through our water purifier and drank it no problem, filled all our water bottles up and set off again. The temperature was rising now, this coupled with the head wind made for extremely difficult cycling, we limped along to the next truck stop. Had lunch I had a power nap, linney obviously captured it on his phone. When we came out the heat was unbelievable 40 plus degrees we decided to lay in the shade for a while, about 45 mins later we set off with the knowledge that we around 30 miles to go, on we went pushing against the head wind, in soaring temperatures, we thought there maybe a truck stop in 12 miles, it took us over an hour and half. Filled up on soft drinks and snacks and rested up, with the final 18miles left on we went all stocked up to camp if required. It was still tough going but we pulled through, a car stopped and offered Keith and I water, which we greatly received, he ended up giving us the 5 Litre bottle. As we pulled into the stop pictures of kebabs, chicken and pizza were on the wall, Liiney said I don't think this is the stop, Keith just l looked and said we are eating. The only other people in the place was a load of mums, grandparents and children having some sort of party, with really lound music, I was to knackered to join in. After we finished eating, we cycled down the road about a mile, came to the hostel that Linney had pin dropped earlier, they had a room, so it was literally cup of tea (no beer) shower and bed. After we had arranged for an early breakfast at 5 in the morning.
