WE MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!
We didn’t think much could better starting your day with the dunes glittering & golden by your side like we did yesterday, but it turns out that the Todra Gorge was absolutely as stunning, if not more so!
The terrain has been varied, challenging & stunning…
We were very excited to get cake at lunchtime!! A rare luxury as every meal usually finishes with oranges or, if you’re really lucky, oranges with cinnamon!!
The last river bed was, in Eliot’s words, “like riding on f***ing marbles”!! It was certainly a route designed to make sure we were properly exhausted on the last day!! But we were buzzing!!! (And also a little warm to say the least!!!)
It was a very social ride, with the road-work taking us through lots of interesting villages where all the kids absolutely loved our green machines!!!!
As the last straight road back to Ouarzazate took us through scenery reminiscent of the wild west it seemed fitting that we rode into a sunset!!!
Hugs & kisses were shared all round when we finally arrived back in the Hotel du Jardins & a beer has just been raised for a very impressive person…
Colin is 70!!! And our oldest customer ever to have completed this by a long way!!
Every body rode exceptionally well & we all agree that we had a brilliant group, but if I could ride half as well, or be half as fit as Colin when I am that age I will be extremely happy!!
We’re off to spend the last night with the customers now but I will share more snippets over the next couple of days as we reminisce the departing group & prepare for the next!!
