TyronLab Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Just been cycling in Rwanda. Some spectacular scenery and a great place to ride a bike.Gorgeous photos! I'm assuming you were there for some other reason and just rode a bike? Or did you go to Rwanda specifically to ride there?
Dusty Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) It is indeed! Where did you go? Photo 2 looks like it could be Nyungwe Forest area.The second photo is Nyungwe Forest. The first one is after I came out of a valley about 270km east of Kigali. Bikepacked all around Rwanda. Edited February 13, 2020 by Dusty DJR and Long Wheel Base 2

Very interesting country and I could do this race at a fraction of the cost of our SA races. Air tickets to Rwanda are relatively cheap. All you need is a weeks leave. Long Wheel Base and DJR 2

Dusty Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Very jealous! More pictures please, remember that you cannot post too many pictures You have to take your climbing legs with. They don't call it the Land of a 1000 Hills for nothing! I got to see volcanoes, one of the great lakes and ride through a rain forest all within 170 odd kms.

Long Wheel Base Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Handiwork of the UCT architecture students. My oxygen deprived brain (it's a steep hill that) first thought it said "think" But I suppose "ink" is more important to some than "think". All I see is a beautiful COLNAGO. No offence to the architecture students. DJR 1
Long Wheel Base Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Wet wipes, Bruh, after each ride.Only since having kids have I realised the brilliant invention that is wet wipes. They are brilliant. Nothing cleans my Jura better than wet wipes. Eugene Oppelt and DJR 2
BSG Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Only since having kids have I realised the brilliant invention that is wet wipes. They are brilliant. Nothing cleans my Jura better than wet wipes.Just don't flush them down toilets because they flog together which leads to blockages. DJR, BenReaper and Long Wheel Base 3
