10. You get a cycling jersey!
9. Waking up at noon and cycling all day sounds awesome…WHAT? What do you mean we have to wake up at 5 am every day? That wasn’t in the brochure!
8. They cook for you. Woohoo, something more then cornflakes for dinner for a change!
7. Showerin’ every day is for sissies.
6. Needed a good excuse to get another bike.
5. Burning 3000 calories a day is really the only we can control our weight.
4. Curious to see how much bigger our legs will get after cycling 12,000 km. 
3. When we got our car 14 years ago we named her Bessy (no…its not weird to name your car). One of the TDA’s two support trucks is called Betsy…(close enough). OBVIOUSLY, the gods are trying to tell us something. Quitting our jobs, emptying our banks accounts and cycling through Africa was the only rational reaction.
2. The bathing facilities. That’s just too funny, we couldn’t pass that up. 
1. I’m slightly obsessive compulsive. Ahhhhhhhhh the freedom of not having to check the stove a hundred times before leaving the apartment.
Gee, I hope nobody read that last one.
