Acclaimed adventure writer Mark Jenkins leaves in two weeks for Bobonong, Botswana where he will research and write the Bicycling Magazine feature on the BikeTown Africa project, implications and ramifications...

Jenkins, who recently retired from his Hard Way gig at Outside Mag, will meet with Special Agent Bradley Shroeder from ITDP and Bones from BOCAIP to get the BikeTown tour of Botswana which will include a visit to the orphanage, a site visit to one of BOCAIP's field offices and a visit to the Bobonong Home Base Care Society, where the team is delivering a container to securely house the AfricaBikes.

The article is slated to run in Bicycling's March issue.
