Subulussallam to Tapaktuan

we left early, ustr past six in the morning. It is by far the nicest time of the day, the air is cool and you can get the miles done. we cruised along past mist soak valleys, with hardly any traffic and open roads.
We'd done 40kms by breakfast at 8am, breakfast was 2minute noodles and egg served in a small shack.  breakfast of champions.  We then went started to ride a section which was like a race track: up, down, around, this way and that.  If this road was anywhere else in the world it would be famous.  It also started to get hot.This went on for 40kms, both Nancy and I started to feel tired.


 Our map of Sumartra has500 contour intervals, therefore we only know when the big hills are coming, this was one of those days.  What I didn't understand would be that the hill would be straight up and I mean 20% all the way to the 500mcontour interval.  Needless to say, my ss didn't get ridden up it.

We were rewarded however...with this (I think images speak for themselves)
