The bicyle travelled quickly upon the tarmac as it descended the mountain at great pace, she could feel the wind in her hair and the breeze was soft and warm against her face. The grass whizzed by on either side of the road as the occasional car passed by with the dull hum of an engine struggling against the steep slope. In the distance she could see the waves of the ocean rolling in against the shore - this was where she was headed and the winding path would take her right there. The beach, to the Aqnoziu. 

Caffeine is set to release a new EP on Third Try Records. Just a hint - it's great. It is accompanied by some remixes by Roza Terenzi (lady of the moment) and SFV Acid.
