With apologies to Kookabura... this might look like torture.

Today's route looked a lot like this in places... I just rode through it.



And like this... a little sand was nothing.



And like this... my ride really started where other bikers had turned around to find another route because they could not proceed any further.



And you do not get views like this from the road... felt a little sad for the spandex clad warriors I saw today.



I would have had a lot of trouble walking where I rode today in relative ease.
