Cycle Kenya

Training secrets

I have been monitoring my fellow team members' training with growing unease. Robin's approach, in particular, has been highly unorthodox.

I understand his final session included intensive box lifting and culminated in carrying a sofa down the road.

Needless to say, my own final preparations also involved a sofa, but put to more conventional use.

The countdown begins

Five days and counting...

On Friday 2nd February, Computing publisher Robin Booth, editor-in-chief Toby Wolpe and senior reporter Dave Friedlos set off to cycle 400km across Kenya to raise money for charity Computer Aid.

Since Computing started working with  Computer Aid in 2004, readers have pledged some 50,000 used PCs that the charity has refurbished for use in Africa and South America.

While in Kenya, the team will visit schools and non-government organisations where these machines are now being used.

We are appealing to the IT community to help us reach our target, so if you would like to sponsor the team visit the www.justgiving.com/computingkenya site to make a secure donation.
