I woke at about 12.30 and read till about 3am. Finally i fell asleep to wake as the sun rose just sbove the surrounding hills. A quick breakfast and coffee.
5kms doen the track i came to this a 24% gradient. The guy said you wont be able to ride that, i as slways scoffed at him, but he was so right and to add insult to injury one of the workers had to help me push it up. I was wheezing like a guy with bronchitis. We just made it. The hill was a welcome change.
The rest of the route was on/of road through palm trees and waddis.
I was pleased with this distance 1,769.28 kilometers from Abu Dhabi
Hatta to Salalah 1314.39 Kilometers 13 days one of them a day off. This was mostly fkat through the desert and quite tough. Carrying the extra backpack with 6kgs of water and stuff really through my balance out and another 6kgs is a lot.
A little rest here for a day or 2 then back up north for a bit more cycling.
A Couple of Days Ride Outta.......
