make sure your bike FITs you. Why? Because much like walking several miles in ill-fitting shoes, you'll soon start to feel sore and develop aches and pains that could prove debilitating the further into your cycle event you get.  Luckily, our resident mechanic and DA leader Chris is on hand to help.

You may know DA team member Kim, through parts [one](https://blog.discoveradventure.com/taking-on-the-sahara-trek-with-three-days-notice) and [two](https://blog.discoveradventure.com/kims-10-top-tips-for-trekking-the-sahara) of her blogs on her [Sahara challenge](http://bit.ly/SaharaDesertTrek) experience.  But here is the crux of it - we've heard about the challenge itself and vitally, her top tips but what are the best and worst moments?
