Oman, NIzwa
Hey Sam / Stephan
You will like Nizwa, it's much cooler there too, but you guys should be used to the heat? I tell you it's great to ride for 2 days down to Salalah through the desert and heat and then as you climb the mountain just before Salalah it begins to cool down, get foggy then rain. Amazing place I must say. A ride to the Yemen border is also a great ride climbing up and through the mountains.
There is a cave, just your side of Nizwa (sorry can't remember it's name) but the roads around there are quite good, there is also a road up over the mountain back towad the coast which is a hard but good ride. It's asphalt up to the top then the track narrows and and becomes gravel. I went through there 2 up on the 12GS and burnt my back rotor out! Faulty disc actually, was changed under warranty tho.
Anyways guys let us know how you go. I have to go back to work on Monday.....bugger!
Cheers
Ivan
