With less than 200km of tarmac in the whole country I didn't think I'd miss my road bike. But there is a thriving road racing club, with a very mixed membership. Children's BMX races are organised, a veterans group has three competitors (on a good day) and the open catagory has a few serious cyclists with expensive imported carbon fibre frames. Not all the competitors have modern equipment, but they don't seem to mind - just to be out racing with friends on a saturday morning is enough.Day Twenty Two - Bike Race
