Bike and gear boxed loaded. Headed to the Airport!

Down to the wire. Last seat.

How happy was I to see this waiting for me at baggage claim?! Addis Ababa, we made it!

Had no idea. Hilarious. Astacianna and I decided it was T-Mobile Magenta!

Hoping it holds up once Charlie puts the miles on it!

It was beyond cool to see Charlie again. We were both pumped.

So, your wife texted me … and long story short … here I am with a MAGENTA bike!

Memories are made of moments just like this.

This is where I relinquish possession of the bike. Ride well, my friend!

Off he goes. Over the ridge, out of the Afar region and beyond….
