Jackie’s Pedalling Progress

[Gerry]

As you may know, Jackie (Jacde) is embarking on a 400 km bike ride through Kenya’s Rift Valley in support of Women V Cancer charities.

She said she would try to keep us posted as to her progress, so I’m starting this in the hope that she can !
I’m sure she will be able to read it at some point so encouraging words may help with keeping her moral up and her mind off her sore bum :-/

She flew into Nairobi Airport at 7.50 this morning and will be transferred to Nyeri and roughing it in The Green Hills Hotel ready for the start of the ride tomorrow (see below).

Some of us waved her and friend Nicky off yesterday from Swindon, and as you can imagine she was both very nervous and excited !


Nicky Daley and Jackie Deininger

Her route is:
Day 1 cycling
Nyeri to Nyahururu (approx 99km) stay in Thomson's Falls Logde
Day 2 cycling
Nyahururu to Nakuru (approx 57km) transfer to Baringo and stay in Soi Safari Lodge
Day 3 cycling
Kabarnet to Eldoret (approx 85km) stay in Eldoret Wagon Hotel
Day 4 cycling
Eldoret to Kakamega (approx 92km) stay in Golf Hotel
Day 5 cycling

Transfer from Kisumu to Nakuru and stay in Hotel Waterbuck
Transfer Nakuru to Nairobi stay in 680 Hotel and then home and a gallon of tea the following day.

Picture of her Swindon well-wishers complete with Certificate from Swindon Council asking us all to donate £25.00 to their own fund not sure if Colin was crying at the thoughts of Jackie being eaten by lions or getting the parking ticket ;D

Looks like Jackie has taken on a real tough challenge - I wish her all the luck in the world and well done to the the WB rebels. 8-) ;D

Had a call very early today to say that yesterday she visited Lord Baden Powell's (SuperScout) grave at Nyeri, had a bath in brown water (she claims it was that colour before she got in it) :-?

Had another (call - not bath) about 6.30am to say she had started the ride and was at the first 12 mile stop, just 50 miles to go today :-/

There's a three hour time difference so hope to get a call later this afternoon to says she's finished Day One (if no call I'll just assume she's been eaten by lions) first dibs on the Monster ;D
