Biking by the river

The never ending road

Even though it was a Saturday, the traffic was rather heavy, so, the group decided to take the parallel road, which, of course was a heavily dirt/gravel road, plus we would hve to cross a bridge. In return, there would be little or no traffic.

Naturally the river was too inviting to ignore and some of us had to take a dip.



After many miles, the dirt road emptied us into asphalt.

Castle on hilltop

The road

The locals did spread out some of their produce on the road. I did not really understand what it was buthere it is.

Entering Gori

Entering Gori we met a coupleof German cyclistes


Finally, we hit a plateau


This is where we camped

I would also like to highlight Dea's cooking abilities and devotion. Dea, despite the day's fatigue that we all felt, after setting up the tent did cook for all of us and with scant material and utensils produced delicious and nutritional meals.
