Every now and then you get everything to go just right. Mrs O/R and I rode through the Lindis Pass to Frankton then down to Athol to visit our son and his family. It was our grandaughter's 9th birthday.
The next day we rode up to Glenorchy and back to Frankton, stayed the night with Mrs O/r's brother and family at Frankton.
Rode around Arrowtown too. (Wondered where idb lived/worked, could have said hello!) :yes:
(Shit I hate Queenstown) :doh:
Next morning we rode home via Alexandra, Galloway, Moa Creek, Naseby and Dansey's Pass.
The whole ride was perfect except for Queenstown. (where to make things worse a cash M/c gobbled up Mrs O/R's credit card) I think we were spoiled as youngsters holidaying there when there were practically no tourists and very few people there. The place was simply breathtaking back then.
Those of you contemplating attending the Glenorchy rally, if you haven't been there before be prepared to be impressed. We never get tired of it.
The new road has a few tricks for the unwary but the surface is terrific.
We are blessed living down here, fantastic roads going every which way its so hard to choose which one to take.
I wonder if I am dead already and this is heaven? Cheers John.:ride: :sunny: :niceone:
