Tinkoff-Saxo head to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro
Team hopes 90 per cent of the 80 riders and staff will reach the summit
Eighty riders and staff from the Tinkoff-Saxo team will travel to Tanzania in central Africa on Friday for their five-day team building camp and hike to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The team hopes that 90 per cent of the riders and staff will reach the 5,895 metre-high summit, to spark the tripling of charity donations from its sponsors and technical partners.
Donations will be doubled if 70 per cent of the team completes the five-day hike to the tallest mountain in Africa.
Team owner Oleg Tinkov has covered the €200,000 cost of the trip, with the donations being shared between the Matonyok Parents Trust orphanage and the Arusha Cycling Club. Fans and supporters can also donate via the team's official Facebook page.
The riders and staff have been preparing for the trip and will be supplied with special equipment for the cold conditions at the snow-covered summit.
They have been advised to have
the Hepatitis A vaccine before traveling.“The biggest problem will be getting used to walking for six to eight hours a day with a rucksack. That's why I've been walking in the woods near my home,” Daniele Bennati told Gazzetta.
“Blisters could be a real problem and walking could hurt our tendons but we've been supplied with good equipment.
We've got to take a sleeping bag because we'll be sleeping in a tent.”
A five-day trekThe team will gather in the city of Arusha, meet with riders from the Arusha Cycling Club on Saturday morning and then begin their five-day trek from Machama Gate.
The trek will start at an altitude of 1828m and reach the Karanga base camp at 4040m after four days of trekking for between six and eight hours.
The trek to the summit will begin on Tuesday night, with the the team reaching the top in small groups on Wednesday morning.
The path to the summit is not difficult but temperatures during the night can reach -25C. The altitude will be the biggest problem.
“The big problem is the altitude sickness, that causes a lack of breath, headaches, nausea and dizziness.посмотрим сколько доберутся до финиша, помню некто Абрамович со свитой в 200 человек не справился.
