Some new routes

Thad left home at 515 and was at my house at 6.  we had to replace a brake disk pad.

After an hour we were passing my favorite chai stop.  We said why not and had two cups each and a chapati. The owner uses 25-50 kg of flour daily making half cake and chapati.  He is a regular machine.  His children are fastest waiters in west of town.

Normal routes up past Sambasha but it was glorious. 

The steep canyons remain indigenous mostly untouched forest.  We stopped to listen to turacos and colubus.

the peak of THE mountain came out and we were thinking it was going to be a sunny day. 

We rode down on deeply rutted track but zero dust.  Normally this is six inches of chain drying dust.  Accross the road up to the plateau.  lots of asking which track.  Came to a newly constructed road.  Were told no one is to ride but becuase we spoke the national language were given permission. 

By now it was overcast .  came out on the single track up to plateau. and decided it was all we had time for when we got to the planted forest.  Had second breakfast and talked to a bunch of ladies going for grass.  Now we were in heavy clouds.  lots of roads and trails going to oldonyo sambu , lengijave, ngaremtoni, olmotonyi.  We were having time of our life coasting down to wherevever we would pop out.  a bit of dust already.

got under the clouds and found this single track into lengijave.  drafted each other the rest of the way
