BURN UP A FEW HOURS & DREAM OF RIDING ZAMBIA!

As I have said many a time over the years, how good is the Internet for burning up hours of time ... time that should be far more gainfully spent?

Yeah, it's awesome for that!

Which brings me to the latest time-consumer that I recently stumbled upon: an epic ride report from South Africa where a couple of extra-hard-core dudes step right up to the plate for a mighty ride across Zambia at the tail end of their wet season.

It's a riveting tail complete with gnarly trails, friendly natives, man-eating spiders, scorpions, lions, elephants and croc and rhino-infested river crossings -- which perhaps gives a hint as to the innovative water-crossing technique shown in the photos attached here.

Talk about making croc bait of yourself ... even the local natives were hesitant about stepping into the water without another one on watch with a rifle!

Anyway, shut the office door, divert the phone back to the chick on the switch and kick back and settle in for a good ol' dose of big-time dirt bike riding action ... here's the link:
Enjoy!
