What, no saddle?

Having carefully packed their bike saddles into suitcases, it seems 7 of our intrepid cyclists have a problem - their baggage has gone missing. Ongoing investigation has unearthed what is possibly their bags sitting in Johannesburg airport. WIth a bit of luck they'll be flown down to Lusaka and the bike ride will commence tomorrow as planned.

In the meantime, they are please to report sightings of giraffe, zebra, ostrich and antelope wondering around the grounds outside the hotel (behind a wired fence). They have been told to look out for a very proud new mother buffalo, but to stay well away as they are dangerous enough without the protective maternal instinct.

Fingers crossed the suitcases and saddles turn up in good time. I don't think it's possible to create a makeshift saddle!
