Saturday morning and what a surprise, it’s been raining….how typical..LOL. I don’t think any one us (well maybe Paul) got a decent nights sleep). Brian as sent a text saying “I’ll meet you girls out the front”, no worries Brian at least you are OK and the bike is sorted. Packed and ready we roll …

Waiting, waiting for the start to come around on Friday so Paul, Phill & I can get on the official part of the ride. Karl will be catching us up down the road. We collect Brian and it’s 31 degrees at Pheasants Nest and oh boy, hoping the weather stays like this. Well, ya know …

Well I arrived home on Thursday afternoon at 5:30pm (a bit later than I had expected), with some 7229.4 kays travelled in the 13 days (average 556.1 kays per day). I could’ve ridden for more to be honest. When an event finishes and you start to head home it does seem to take ages, but …

I’ve finally updated days 4, 5 & 6 with the missing photos. Sorry it took so long, but it actually takes a while to resize all the pics, then upload them to photobucket before loading them into the blog (which takes longer than I thought) and then resizing them again, so thanks for your patience. …

Another beautiful morning, we have truly been blessed this trip so far. Anny needs fuel before we can head off, so as I wait for her I watch the sun rise. Bit of wind today but that’s ok. Not far up the road and there are cows on the side of the road, gotta love …

Another sleep in “NOT”…lol, you’d think I’d get used to it but am just accepting that the sleep in will have to wait until I get home. Ghosty, Carsten & Lionel (3 FarRiders) asked Anny & I to witness documentation last night for their attempt at a SS1600. So this morning they are up early …

It’s the morning that I wish wouldn’t come. The saying hooroo to all my new friends, and to my new best friends Phil & Kim. So hugs all round and Kimmo & I just put the inevitable off as long as we could. It was a teary “catchy later”, this woman Kimmo, I swear Darani had in her …
