Some Biking at Mankele

So, if you are wondering why there are 2 posts in a day, it is because I am trying out some desktop based software for the blog. Ecto, Macjournal and Marsedit.

This post is being done in MacJournal, which thus far, seems to be the nicest tool, however, it will be the more expensive to purchase, once my 15 day trial runs out.

Back to the blog. So Vesna and I arrived at the lodge a little too early to check in.

The Entrance
The View of Accommodation
As a result, we decided to take the bicycles off the car, pump the tires, fill the hydration packs and head over to Mankele. This would be our first time riding with Cleats, and we were obviously a little nervous.

None the less, we had an incredible ride. The trails at Mankele are really special. They are well maintained, with bridges, drops, technical rocky paths and lots of hills.

Anyway, we will work more on the blog tomorrow. For now, the attached is our first mini test of MacJournal.
More pictures of Mankele views, the Panarama route and the accommodation to follow.
