A splendid gallery, Bob. The images of the leafy glades & rolling fields clearly show why cycle tours (& hiking) are so popular. The image which stood out the most for me was the Petanque players probably because my standard dress is like the guys wearing shorts. Some years ago there was still a large continental population in Phalaborwa (Italians & Portuguese in building/construction & Greeks in cafès). They use to play Petanque on a redundant sand tennis court. Only a few Greeks remain now.

On the hydration question, "back pack" systems are widely used in all types of endurance disciplines here, especially when water points are unpredictable. However, the fitter people manage with much less water than the herd. GPS/heart monitor systems are much in evidence too. I even see runners with i-Pads loaded with apps which log their whole route on something like Google Earth.
