Georgia tests my limit

Cycling in the northern part of Georgia with steep climbs can be real intense. Especially if you repeat that every day. Along with the sudden heat that has arrived, it was even more challenging. I was shattered and my legs didn’t want to bring me any further. It was then a serendipity to meet Silvie and Rick from the Netherlands again (I met them in Cappadocia when the other car got stuck). They made a little detour with their motor bikes and brought food since I was just too tired to cycle further. We had many stories to share since our last encounter in Cappadocia. Their next stop is the Zagari Pass! Take care, you’ll rock it!

One day later I got a message from Ingmar that they are close to Agara. They would spend the night there. Coincidentally, I was there already and had the same plan. That was just such a lovely moment when I saw those guys coming in the truck. Of course we had to toast to the successful salvage with some beers.
Meeting these warm-heated people again felt extremely good and has inspired me for the remaining kilometers to Tbilisi. It’s those little things that sometimes lift you from a low.

And one final thing to mention, I had my very first puncture after 5650 kilometers. The bike is still doing well like on the first day. Couldn’t be any better.Baca selengkapnya
