Today I met my hero. No, sorry, Super Hero
Had awesome ride today to the southern most point we ride to, Femez. As we chomped our sarnies in the local cafe, we saw a kid on a small bike in t-shirt and shorts trying to get up the hill opposite, Kept us amused for a while and eventually came back down.
We forgot about him and then we set off up the big hill behind us, up to the big towers above Femez.
Half way up this tricky climb, we came across the same dude
Gave him the thumbs up as we passed, not expecting to see him again.
When we got to the top, we decided to wait, just in case.
Yup, he appeared
We applauded him and he was grinning like mad
It was a 125 hire bike on skinny road tyres and he was in t-shirt and shorts
We told him that we were going to ride the full length of the ridge and come down into Ye. A bloody tough descent, but told him we'd take care of him.
Couldn't take pics of the tricky bits, but you'll get an idea of the descent.
He managed it all and we found an easier bit at the end for him.
It was like Candid Camera
And it was his first time ever, riding off road
