And what a sore backside.. Naomi, Sami and I hooked up with the Dubai Hot Cog's team and hit the mountains out near Shawka on Friday. It was one hell of a ride..
The barren rocky landscape of teh Hatta mountains is a very challenging environment for pedal-power. We traversed gravel tracks, wadi bed's, rocky escarpments, boulder valleys, you name it!! Up and Downhill.. 
It was a long, hard 4 hours of rugged terrain in the searing heat. I had a few technical issueswith the bike, the chain came off a number of times and I got a flat. Luckily the flat was only a few Kilometres from the end so I ran and walked the bike back, by which time it was dark.
It was a very interesting and rewarding day all in. I might just do it again!!
