Off Road Scooters

Jeff and I decided to take a morning scooter ride with no destination. I looked at our bikes and realized they had relatively knobby tires and said we should find a nice dirt road to check out. So off we went towards the Chinese Village, past the Chinese Village and up into the hills. We found an awesome dirt track that led up out of the valley and onto a ridge. The scooters here actually are really versatile and the locals drive them everywhere, so why not us! We ended up going up the road for about 30 minutes until we got to a part that was so steep Jeff's bike was floored and he still had to help walk it up the dirt grade. We paused there and hiked around worried that getting down from there would be a challenge. Getting up there was tons of fun, fortunately getting down proved to be easier than we thought and next time we will go up that road even further. Once we were up at the top we saw a couple of ponds or lakes that we had never known about, so the next step was to find those once we got down. We found a great pond surrounded by cows and fisherman, a really nice spot we intend to return to often.
