As you can see below, the town we came from is listed in the photo. Sorry, no translation, my Arabic consists of the word thank you. We got ahead of the rest of the group here, so we stoped and took in the landscape. Yes it does change several times again.
This gives a better view of the road sign and where we came from. I believe we were above 7,000 feet elevation.
When we got to the other side, the landscape changed yet again. Very nice.
It looked like this road was recently rebuilt. Soft gravel made for a very wobbly ride down the trail.
We came to a split in the trail. The gravelroad went left and 8 miles of singletrack the other way. Charlie and I took the single track. Thought I would pose on the trail riding on the front wheel. I didn't crash on this one. On our way down we passed several sheep/goat herders. It didn't dawn on me at first but I noticed as we passed the second one, the teenager guiding the animals was packing a rifle. The movie Bable flased back before my eyes. All was well though.
This is a close-up of our guide trying to figure out why the camera didn't take a picture going over an obstacle.
Here is where we stopped for snacks. The single track matched up with the dirt road riders. The trip was really well planned for the experience MTB rider as well as the novice in the skill set.
This was a longer day of riding. Stay tuned for Part 3 of today's riding. More to come.

Excellent - as usual. Keep taking photos of signs; it's a good way to remember lots of things and places.
