Heading for the Greater Caucasus tomorrow ;).

cool! enjoy it! make sure you cycle Abano Pass and then on to Girevi. ;)

and maybe over Atsunta Pass? ;)

You did that? Atsunta looks pretty rough. I'm going to Kasbeg and Svaneti, encounters with Tushetan sheepdogs maybe some other time.:)

Had a look at the Georgia pics on your site, great as usual. Man, those photos of your bike on a horse, truly epic! Is that up the Atsunta pass?

Overnight trip to the Jersey Pine Barrens then to the coast.

S24O over the weekend directly from our home to a location 30 miles away. Our second camping trip on our second tandem that we got this year. It's a cushy cruiser.

is the road finished? they have been working there in 2019. all tarmac now ?

PedalingWalrus , is that your new Co-Motion tandem? Looks nice.

Yeah. Thanks. Took over one year to get it but all is well now. It tours real nice. Cheers!

No, it's still unpaved. Some very rough spots. They're working on the parts that get eroded by the river or disappear in landslides in spring, I guess.

Reminds me of my favorite film. El Espíritu De La Colmena (The Spirit Of The Beehive)

thank you. found the film online....

Classic pittfall of phone pics, 25 % looks like faux plat :lol: . Nice scenery, though, where is that?

That was just warning sign of 25%, it was a bit further down the road and around some bends before it dropped off. The photos were taken on Dartmoor and Exmoor (Devon and Somerset in the UK). Dartmoor was beautiful- lots of climbing to get to the top and then rolling hills and scenery. Exmoor was mostly descend a massive 25% hill before ascending a 25% hill, rinse and repeat all day long.

Those one in four signs are something you just don't see in Canada, North America, I guess we established norms for road grades, where the terrain in some places in the UK , plus an old history of roads being there, is the reason.

Glad I have very low gearing!

Even with a 19 inch low gear, I definitely walked some of the hills in Exmoor.
