"Rowboat boy" cycling to Africa

My sister started following this guy's blog a year ago when he was rowing solo across the Atlantic to raise money for FARM Africa. Now he's leaving on a 6,000 mile bike trip from his home in England, across Europe, down the middle east, then down through Africa to visit the project he helped fund in Kenya. and he's doing this having not actually been on a bike in ten years (until he got his new bike a month ago!). I love it. This is something I would do.

I wasn't sure if this would go in "adventure stories" or "touring" or "charity rides" since it's all three, so I'm putting it here.

Here's his blog if you want to read more. He's also an engaging writer, and very funny: http://www.pedallingalltheway.com/index.php
