He faced the Sahara Desert
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the relentless rider said the ride would be his longest since he started out on the journey.
Kunle revealed that he got to his present destination two days ahead of time. He went on to say before going to bed the previous night, he read a book that spoke about the limitations people place on themselves.
After the reading, Kunle dumped his usual routine of setting out by 9 am and instead went out early at 6 am. The man tested his limit all through the journey.
