  1. Hi everyone.

    Seems like a great forum. I hope I can contribute.

    It's getting up to 50c here, so riding is limited. No rain though! :)

    We have some of the best roads I've ever ridden, so if you want a warm holiday spot and great riding, come on over!

  5. That may be true; haven't had the pleasure. Then again, we don't have mad Scots to contend with, only arabs and camels. :)

  7. Oban, Oman, it's all the same place.

    I gather that drivers in Oman* are a little saner than those in Qatar. I hope that's true!


    *Not in Oban though ... bunch of mad bampots that want shooting in Oban.

  8. I'll take my chances with the camels. You know where you are with a camel (preferably not in front) :)

  10. The drivers here are "enthusiastic" shall we say. They're Ok if you keep your eyes open and expect them to do the most irrational thing possible.
    It's actually quite entertaining.

  12. We actually ride all through the summer. Sweat is a given, but I work outdoors so being sweaty is a occupational hazard anyway. Mesh Rukkas and a Camelbak keep us going.

  17. sounds like riding in Andalusia. always dry, stupidly hot and too much dust on the roads. still, no camels to dodge.

    hello & welcome.

  19. Sounds like a plan
    Though the best roads are around my way

    Oh hello and welcome to the mad house :)

  20. I hope it's nothing like Kuwait. The road users there are completely mental.
