Mid-life crises don’t have to be boring and staid. Buy a mountain bike and the best adventure of your life is just over the next hill. Quote unquote from the guy at the bike shop. What he didn’t tell you is that when you’re on a bicycle most hills turn into mountains. And he also didn’t tell you beware of riding next to guy with a long bucket list. Because he will casually ask if you want ride with him from Harare to Cape Town.
After completing the trip (unexpected experiences – both good and bad- forever skeyched in your memory), you get home exhausted but exhilarated, patting yourself on the back for having raised more than a million Rand for charity, and your friends call you lazy for choosing a downhill destination. So straight away, you look for another mountain to aim at, a pointy one this time called Kilimanjaro.
Cape Town to Kilimanjaro is about having fun, doing good, and above all doing epic. It will make you laugh and cry if you are on the receiving end of the intravenous antibiotics. Hopefully it will also inspire. All you need is a bike and a destination.

Eric George de Jong was born in Zimbabwe in 1959. Aged 60, he has almost got the hang of shaving without too much blood loss. In a chequered career, he has been a policeman, a hotelier, a rock and roll concert promoter, made movies, mostly bad Italian B Grade ones, a cut-flower farmer and a political activist. When not growing flowers or writing, Eric can normally be found on his mountain bike pedalling for charity to far-away places like Cape Town or Mt Kilimanjaro or the Skeleton Coast. Married to Jenny with three children and three grandchildren, Eric lives on his farm in Zimbabwe.
