Pic 4: We start off good enough, on tarmac and with good conditions
Pic 5: Yours truly, with notions of next years Tour De France in mind…
Pic 6: Conditions rapidly detiorate… i.e. the road is pure shite and we are actually cycling through the clouds!!
Pic 7: The most infamous (and dangerous) turn on the death road… you get the idea!
Pic 8: Closeup from the same corner
Pic 9: My arse, which is all anyone else got to see!! heheh… want you to get an idea what it is like cycling with me 😉

Pic 11: Another view of the road and the amazing vista from it
Pic 12: Nearing the end…
Pic 13: Final descent…
Pic 14: Water jump for dramatic effect at the end…
Pic 15: And final water hurdle, which was easily negotiated by all!
