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
