Biking to the Other Side of Ascension

I like to ride to Georgetown and read at the Long Beach Turtle Center pavilion.


A very old tractor.

The village of Two Boats has two donkey guards. They both have golf balls wired underneath. I'd like to know the purpose of the golf balls.

I rode from the southwest side of Ascension to the northeast. Very warm on that side.



The European Space Agency (ESA) Ariane launch downrange tracking station. This station tracks launches from French Guiana on the northeast side of South America.







It was all downhill from Two Boats to the Ariane site. 

It is all uphill from the US Base to Two Boats.


One of my favorite meals is to bowl a salad and top it with a piece of fish.

  1. Does anyone work at the Ariane site? They have a lonely road to travel. Interesting to note the warmer side of the island. They made a good choice to inhabit the windward side. Your salad and fish look tasty! Let us know what those golf balls are there for! Interesting picture of the rusty tractor. Tough acreage to plow. Enjoy these adventures and stay safe! Love always, andee
