One thing is for sure, there will be more off-road rides coming up now that the weather is getting better. Early mornings are now much more bearable but the mercury rises rather quickly once the sun is completely out and about.

Today we headed towards our usual track around Nazwa and then onto Al Batayeh – Al Faya road, which is rather enjoyed by sportbike riders who devour these long, straight roads on their high powered machines.

Then, we headed off-road into gravel on E 102, around Maliha and rode on some good tracks ideal for big motorcycles like the R1200GS. Finally, we emerged at Fili and rode to our usual egg-roll joint at Shawka.

The ride wasn’t without incidents though. We dealt with a couple of falls and a pretty serious breakdown with the spokes snapping on the rear wheel on one of the motorcycles.
