Going Intercontinental - Getting ready for my trip to West Africa

Hello friends, so in two weeks time I'm off to another continent. I've been invited by my friend Chris, aka @Slimwonder to hop along on a trip to Sierra Leone to help film the trip which will include following the Tour de Lunsar, a multi-day stage race from the capital, Freetown, to the town of Lunsar. The team has been introduced via the Swift Bags Instagram, which I'll link below if you'd like to meet a few of us.

Since we're mostly getting around on bikes, we were helped out by Surly, who supplied three bikes for a few of our riders to take to Sierra Leone. Thanks Surly. We got one Cross Check and two Midnight Specials which I built up at Loose Nuts Cycles who also helped the trip through a sponsorship. Thanks Chris.

Swift bags was also on board providing bags to help transport our gear. I received a 12 liter Peregrine rando bag, an anchor hip pack, a moxie top tube bag, a half frame bag, and an every day caddy saddle bag.
Thanks, Swift.

Finally, I was super stoked to have Cafe du Cycliste on board supporting us with sick ass riding apparel. I'm not much of a kit guy, so I opted for their more casual yet riding optimized shirt gravel shirt and zip hoodie. Also their swim trunks for beach time.

With Vaccinations and visas taken care of months ago, all that's left to do is wait and get stoked. Thanks for coming along with me on my months long preparation to get intercontinental. I'll link some of the gear and folks involved below and see you when I get back!
