Today was a tough cycling day starting with an 8 kilometer climb. The main destination was an archeology site, the Ancient Roman City Phalasarnis (or sometimes Falasarnis). To get there we had to ride on a rocky unpaved road, not pleasant even if you have a mountain bike with fat tires as Brenda and I did. The Phalasarnian civilization started early but was at their zenith around 400 BC. It is believed that the Romans trashed their own city, possibly because the inhabitants had become pirates.

An of course I had to take a photo of Betsy’s skirt. She is co-leader of this ride.
Are you on the same trip as Michael Blake? Send me a "landscape"--you know the drill-- photo for the BAC web site. I haven't received many lately. Enjoy
