Tour d'Afrique - Cairo to Cape Town by Bike

Now that I have received my registration package and have read through it, my excitement for the trip has increased ten fold. The list of gear items to acquire is growing furiously. Many questions I previously had have been answered by the information package; however the many more rhetorical ones remain: ...is my bike going to make it? ...how much sunscreen am I going to use? ...how many hard drives am I going to fill with pictures?

...how emotional is that finish line going to be?
