Holiday's coming!

Posted 29 Nov 2006

We’re off to Thailand in about 2 weeks time, so we’re starting to double-check all our arrangements. Finally the holiday bug is starting to bite! We’re going cycle-touring in Thailand with Spiceroads. We’re riding from Chiang Mai down to Bangkok over 10 days or so. Then we’ll spend a few days in Bangkok at the end.

Can’t wait!!




Toy Run

Posted 27 Nov 2006

All bunny rabbits loaded and ready for action!Yesterday Kevin and I did the Toy Run on our scooters. Thousands and thousands of two-wheelers met up at Ratanga Junction for the procession to Maynardville. Several thousand more came through from Ottery.

There were a LOT of toys donated for the underprivileged. Quite an experience!

Some more pics here.




Double Century '06

Posted 26 Nov 2006

We completed the Double Century yesterday in about 6:07. Not sure where we came but probably just outside the top 10. We had a bit of a mixed team – some strong riders and some a little weaker. And only 10 of us at the start line.

We managed to get 7 of us to the finish and it was mostly a smooth ride. Only one puncture which cost us 3 or 4 minutes.
