We planned to start early to ride the 80 kilometre section between Shinyanga and Nzega. We were delayed by some pre-departure tasks and only managed to cover half of that distance.
Tuesday 6 August 2013
What began as a simple change of pedals on my bicycle became a major pit stop. I changed the entire pedaling mechanism. My bill:
- pedals Shs.3,000 ($US 1.90)
- pedal mechanism Shs.7,000 ($US 4.40)
- service charge Shs.3,000 ($US 1.90)

Between Kizumbi and Samuye we stopped for lunch where an old man asked for the list of 17 countries that Ross had cycled through and then he asked me for my my telephone number which is a change from the normal routine of asking Ross for his number.Next: "Why don't you take a car?"
