I made a post in 2013 about a race in Kenya and sadly the photos have vanished into the depths of the interwebs, maybe I've got copies somewhere.
Also this project thread about restoring David Kinjah's old Pinarello: 1990s Pinarello Stelvio resoration
I moved to Rwanda in 2015 because it's the one country in the region that actually allows a life without faff/danger/corruption, though honestly it's "Africa Lite" and I miss the exciting chaos of Kenya. Yes, Skol is one of our main lagers, brewed here by the Heineken company. Like all Rwandan beers it's unexciting. Congo and Uganda have super tasty beers though.
I worked all of 2015 with Team Rwanda as a mechanic, and this week they are racing the Tour de Rwanda (big UCI race). My current work is leading week-long dirt road MTB expeditions for rich British tourists. They are normally so slow that I spend all week without the faintest whiff of lactic acid, so riders like the Skol youth team are great for proper training. Plus there's a nice expat crew here that I cycle with socially.
I have a few cycling pictures on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stickymangojuice/
