Unicycle Africa June 2009
Escape Adventures are organising a unicycle tour of Kenya and Tanzania in 2009. Have a look at their website and contact them if you are interested. They are a tour operator based in New Zealand. See email below for details. Ken Looi ______________________________________ Hi All Thank you to all of you who I have been talking to over the last couple of weeks in regard to a proposed Unicycle Tour in Africa for 2009. I would like to let you all know that we have now gone official on this and set the date for the first ever Unicycle Tour in Africa, 16 days from Sat June 20th to Sun July 5th 2009! It will be a fully vehicle supported and catered tour following the same itinerary as our awesome Kenya and Tanzania bike trip that we have been leading and improving for the last 8 years. (Info attached). This is a mostly off-road tour riding on non-technical dirt roads, tracks and some single track. We stay with local Maasai families, spend time in National parks with the wildlife and ride through a range of fantastic landscapes. If you would like some feedback from past bikers please check out our website www.escapeadv.com or drop us a line and we can put you onto some guys to talk to. I know its a long way off and most people on this planet have a hard enough time knowing what they will be doing next week, let alone in 2009, but what we would like is a registration of interest in the tour. We will be taking a maximum of 10 riders plus our crew (2 x leaders and support driver) so if there is enough interest we will schedule a second departure to run a week after the first. As we need to set our schedule nearly 2 years in advance having an idea of possible numbers will make it possible to schedule the 2nd trip if needed. If you know of any other keen unicyclists who may be interested please forward this email to them, or if you know of any unicycle forums that we can post this info onto can you please let me know, thanks. I look for ward to hearing from you soon, please feel free to drop me aline anytime for more info. Go well John Escape Adventures.

Can we talk about a "multi-tour" discount? I'd love to take in a tour or three every year, but it's going to be tough to pay for everything with all the time away from work. -- maestro8 Those are my principles.

That sounds fantastic! I'm in. Doesn't it conflict with the tour of Mongolia? ...or has that been postponed indefinitely? -- mscalisi Unicycle for (reducing the) Buddha ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mscalisi's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4961 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64013 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

You don't have to do all of them! It's SINZ, Laos and Uninam Tours are still cheap considering that accomodation, meals, support vehicle, support crew, website, internal flight etc are paid for. Uninam is bulging at the seams already, so it's nice that some other people can organise unitours as well. As far as I know, none have been done in Africa yet. I don't know about Andy Cotter, but he usually does tours every couple of years, so you might see three or four tours in 2009. Monguni is still on the menu. It may happen about a month or two after the Africa tour. I'm not involved in organising the Africa Tour, so you'll have to talk to them directly I'll likely join them on tour so it's unlikely I'll be organising Monguni to clash with an Africa tour!

Dang, three or so tours in 2009. I don't want to have to choose. I may have to quit my job!! GizmoDuck wrote: You don't have to do all of them!

I'm not sure if we can do two tours in summer 2009. Although camping and offroading in Mongolia sounds like it can't be beat, it turns out it actually can be. If we can only go on one, it will be Africa. That sounds too good to be true. ---Nathan -- nathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nathan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/251 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64013 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

That pretty much seals the deal. I'd get to meet the great BTM.
