We decided to meet up early Friday morning since we were going to head to Julai’a for our Starbucks stop and enjoy the ride the whole way there. It was around 9:00 am when we got started and we headed for the gas station, there weren’t too many cars on the road, and this was the second time for my friend to come out to some place this far.

We were taking it easy on the turns since he isn’t completely familiar with all the roads. We headed out as soon as we filled up our tanks at the Bayan Gas Station. The roads were relatively empty except for the micro-buses and large trucks on the road. There were a few people on the way to the beach house, but as we were riding we got rhythm to our ride so much so that we flowed through the traffic that was in front of us.

As soon as we got to the beach house area at Mina Abdulla we were really enjoying the inside roads except for those damn bumps. There are some parts which are really nice and some which are annoying. The problem I have is that there are some bumps that people build and they don’t paint them. I can understand that they want people to slow down, but not painting the bumps is hazardous to cars and especially bikes.

After finishing up in Julai’a we headed out from there back to Marina to meet up with some friends for breakfast, it seems they were their for a while but we were enjoying our ride too much to head their early. My friend has improved a huge amount since he first started riding, he has got confidence is riding but he is cautious and I could see it in his riding. You can really read people from their riding, and he is confident but he knows he needs experience so he isn’t pushing his luck with is a good thing.
