Trips range from overnight outings near the Fayoum to longer ones up to 10 days from Siwa to Kaharga stopping at an oasis every third day for gas, food, and water. Group sizes have been from 2 to 7 bikes, 4 to 5 seems to be the optimum number on bigger trips. Cars will join us occasional on weekend trips, what they lack in speed is compensated by their carrying capacity. I feel the luxery they bring is appreciated after a long ride but distracts from the riding itself. A typical day of riding would consist of around 200 km, finishing the day around 4:00, sunset on top of a dune with a warm scotch, dinner (typically tuna fish sandwhiches), and bed by 8 or 9.
