Gorden's revenge revisited

Our last endeavour with "Gordon's revenge" saw Mike and myself focussed mainly on the dirt roads so as to remain upright. It was time to revisit the route and this time, enjoy the scenery. 

Werner joined us and riding at the prescribed social distance or better, we launched into the exercise. That is, after a fast descent down a long hill, Werner remembered to tighten up his rear wheel axle.

For nature's scenery of near every kind, it would be hard to beat. It is one of those  "Zen" rides, where you let your mind relax and go to that other place in your soul. It may be only 48.09km long and as Strava bears witness, there are a lot of steep climbs. Yet, in no sense do those items detract from such a peaceful experience.
