Thomas - I cycled the 2nd half of the 2008 Tour d'Afrique.
Here is a summary of the prizes that were awarded in Cape Town:
- medals to everyone who did the entire tour: Cairo to Cape Town
- medals to the about 15 cyclists who biked "EFI" (every freaking inch)
- Large African masks/carvings. mounted on bases, to the top 3 male and female racers
- Smaller African paintings to the male and female winner of each section, 8 sections = 16 awards
- In 2009 the top senior racers (age 50+) will also be recognized as a separate category
