Leaving in November 2006, after hopefully reaching our goal of £20 000, our five riders join up with 95 others in London and fly to Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

This group of 100 riders will form the EnduroAfrica team for 2006, in a unique and challenging motorbike adventure in aid of the charity Riders for Health. The trip involves the 100 bikers from all over the world tackling 14 days of dusty and demanding riding through some of South Africa's most rugged and isolated terrain.

There's backing from the likes of Randy Mamola, John Reynolds, James Toseland, Niall Machenzie and BBC's Suzi Perry to name but a few, and together we aim to purchase 100 bikes for the health workers of Zimbabwe. By taking part in EnduroAfrica, and raising money for Riders for Health, our BikeAfrica team will be helping to save the lives of some of Africa's poorest people.



Riders for Health will train medical staff in Zimbabwe to not only ride the motorcycles, but also maintain them. Infact, the money raised by BikeAfrica and EnduroAfrica for Riders for Health is aimed to be enough to keep the bikes maintained for several years, not just the initial purchase. After all, what good would it be to simply hand a medical person a motorcycle? This goes far beyond that.
