Cycling in India stage 16 to Songadh

Early departure with a fast group of riders. We zoomed along near 30 kph until we hit the hills, where the road went over a small pass, about 500 meters. The pavement was relatively new and smooth, mostly with big trees shading the road, with few villages along the way. Lunch  was among the trees along the road, and only disturbed by herds of cows and goats passing by.
Jaipur is called the blue city, but we saw a couple of blue villages on this ride, with many tents made from blue tarpaulins. A tough place to live.
I stopped by a brick making operation, where the boss was glad to have his picture taken, but the women who were carrying the bricks to the kiln were not allowed to be distracted for photography.
