Welcome to Judy Rigby's Tour d'Afrique website.

On Saturday 14th January 2006 I will be starting a 7000 mile bike ride from Cairo to Capetown.

Why? 

Because it's there.

For a more in depth answer to the Why? follow the link to A bit about me.

The Bike

Ladies Stumpjumper hardtail, bought specifically for the trip. My trusty tourer, at 12 years old, would never have forgiven me had I subjected it to this trip.  And I would never have forgiven my trusty steed for not having front shocks when I needed them...

Special thanks to Terry Dye at Leisure-Lakes Bikes in Bury for all his help in getting the bike ready.  I only wish I were as ready as the bike is.....
