ride from Cairo to Cape Town

Anyone heard of the Tour d'Afrique cycling expedition from Cairo to Cape Town. Its an epic journey by bike covering 12000 km. Check out the site, and leave your comments. www.tourdafrique.com

For me, it hasn´t got anything to do with bike traveling. It´s rather a race. For sure it´s heaps better than Paris-Dakar for more environmentally friendly. But for the local people it´s similar. They do notice stressful, tired foreigners fitted in futuristic, silly dressing unfit for many cultures along the way(Sudan, Egypt).
