Layangar to Khorog
Ah well here we go again - actually just as good a time as yesterday this is a great ride. Oops the major had a more serious off today luckily no lasting damage he's bent the crash bars and collected a few scratches and bruises but nothing serious. He hit a patch of sand too quickly tried to ride down the middle between the ruts and was then cross rutted Ah well most of us have done it at one time or another. Actually both he and Colin are doing really well given they had next to no experience of this kind of thing before the trip it's amazing the progress they've made. There were a few other "slips" amongst the group but no lasting problems. On the lighter side one of the funniest things I've ever seen was the Major "helping" a local farmer plough his field. It wasn't the fact that the bullocks would take absolutely no notice it was the look on the farmer face as this guy arrived complete with biking gear and helmet to assist. To the guys credit he let Mike have a go even though looking at the crooked furrow he was going to have to start again we still left him with a smile, though I'm not sure Mikes back will ever be the same again.
Oh dear we'll have to eat another first class curry tonight.
