Last weekend we did a last practice trip where we'd go out to a place 120km away from Cairo, about 140km from where we live, camp, cook and get the whole lot of the cycling-camping experience.
Unfortunately it was terribly windy. I mean it was so windy that no matter how hard you pedal you are barely moving, probably I was doing a 8-10 km/h it was badly inclined, and when there was a slight declination we had to pedal our way down or you'd fall off your bike!
We rested a bit in the middle of the road and thought that we should start looking for a decent camping spot, the wind has decreased a bit, but it was too late for us to try to reach Ain El-Sokhna specially it would be dark by then, and we didn't think it was a good idea to cycle in the dark!
I was fortunate enough to actually experience the famous quote of "it's never about the destination it's about the road or the journey"
Here are some pictures, Mo has the rest, since he is the one with the pro cam :-)
hahaha i can't believe you opted for macarona! You had to carry pots and stuff..isn't that like unnecessary weight?
ReplyDeleteYou'd rather we lived off candy?
ReplyDeletewell or sandwiches...anything not involving metal pots? or candy!! it's both nutritious and delicious.
ReplyDeleteAs a dietician and "hikingexpert" I must say that it is looking really promising so far, to be well equiped is never a bad thing ;)
