“Last year saw the launch of the Uganda Cycling Trail, a 1,600-kilometer mainly unpaved 22-stage route designed to appeal to all levels of cyclist from hardcore solo bikepackers to fully-guided easy riders.”

Yours is a fantastic story. Thanks for sharing it with us. I really enjoyed having a “front row seat!”
The legend that is Lawrence is helping me buy a bike. Somehow, some day, I shall meet you on the Tour of Karamoja… (you’ll recognise me, I’ll be the one at the BACK!) LOL.
By the way, I love the photo you took when the three of us went hiking:
St. Lawrence with Lawrence!
Happy days 🙂

It has become my go-to article for when people want to know more about our nice “little” adventure. We had so much fun on our trip and I think this article shows it. I also hope it shows that you don’t need a big budget or a fancy bicycle to go on a great adventure. I hope it encourages more domestic and international tourists to explore the stunning beauty of Uganda by bicycle.

Yes the duo’s tour is incredibly inspiring!

That is an inspiring feat! I have been to Kisoro (in 2011) and was in Kidepo last year in December. That was no mean feat!
