Day 4 - Mzazappa Bay to Morgans Bay - 52 miles

Having been awake most of the night, I was not really feeling up to riding and considered taking the easy route or not riding at all. However, having come all this way I did not want to miss out on anything and so decided to ride. A good decision.

The ride was all on narrow tracks with very few roads and began with a fantastic blast through dense woodland, negotiating fallen trees and rocky descents. The day also saw us cross about 17 rivers, some of which were quick blasts across shallow streams and others involved wading across metres of unseen rocks up to your thighs in water. This led to some amusing incidents with bikes looking more like submarines. But despite swallowing half the river, simply putting the bike vertical on its back wheel to drain the water and cleaning out the air filter, the little Hondas would always fire back into life. Amazing!
The last river crossing was beyond even the Hondas capabilities and we hopped on to a rather rickerty ferry.
A relatively early finish today saw those not suffering from sickness make the most of fact that the next day was a rest day and celebrated surviving the most demanding part of Enduro Africa.
