So this morning at 5am, I could not sleep anymore, so I decided to get on the bike and ride to Lake Kariba.

This is not really a ride report, but just a bunch of pictures of a quick 450km jaunt down to Kariba and back.  :thumleft:

Sunrise between Lusaka and Kafue

Going down the escarpment towards Chirundu

So many of these next to the road, the road between Harare and Lusaka is very very dangerous where it winds up the escarpment in Zambia

Then took a ride out to Sandy Beach Resort, a very rustic spot, where Africa Time is king, so don't expect anything to be done fast at this place!

Then took another track back to the main road, such nice riding spots here, jou just leave the main road and there are tracks going everywhere!
