Last Saturday, I once again took part in a ride-out organised by Asociatión Muévete por Madrid en Moto. The theme for the ride was “despedida de Fabian” – a farewell and set-off party for Fabian who, with sponsorship from, among others Mutua Madrileña and Triumph, is going to ride to Nepal and India. His project is called Proyecto Suraj and he has a very illustrative website where you can read more about his project.
We gathered by the four towers in Madrid and got ourselves organised. Then we rode behind Fabian over Rascafria up to Lozoya where a barbecue was waiting. After some food and mingling we cheered him on his way.
I enjoyed the company of a colleague and we planned our own route coming back, passing Cotos and Navacerada. Riding through the pine forest was a pleasure and there was hardly any traffic this Saturday afternoon. Getting closer to Madrid we were exposed to brief but hard rain, I got totally soaked. In the end it was good to get back home… ehmm, not true. I´m green of envy wanting to head off for an adventure myself… summer is too far away.
