In
the town of Ribeira Brava…
The seat on my T-Lab is also way too high for
this type of descent (even though on steep climbs, the front wheel wants to
lift off).
On
the road north-west of Ribeira Brava....
Climbing through Faja de Baixo, we see the big
difference in humidity on the north slope of Sao Nicolau – which allows
productive vegetable and fruit farming (in contrast to the south slope, with
Tarrafal, which is essentially a desert).
Bask
at Cachaco - taking a short breather, before the last little climb to the top
of the pass (~14% grade).
Not
likely to do this loop again, so I am glad I brought the camera today – hope
you like the photos!
