Day 5 - a trip up & down (& up & down, & up & down) the coast

Very very tough day on the bike.  The route was beautiful as we rode southwest along the coastline of Lake Kivu, however, the road was just non-stop up and down, up and down, etc......  More so, the ups were a lot longer and most reaching 8-10% (even 12-13%!!) gradients.  Then at 92km mark we had a 8km climb followed by another 2km just when we thought it was over.  Tough. Tough.  Tomorrow will be worse so back to back combo a big challenge.  Arghhhhhhh, will the legs take this???





Luckily for my roommates, I do not snore (well, kind of not)

Amply apply that sunscreen Simon!!

Gorgeous country!

How I felt the whole week!!!!

Always friends along the way to cheer you up!

Lake Kivu - wonderful way to re-energize the body after a day on the bike
