I guess your posts are like your rides, getting longer! Good write up, so I guess you becoming a food critic reviewer as well now?
And a great lunch at The Bach in Island Bay who held tables for us even though they were really busy and hadn't picked up my text confirming our numbers and ETA.
I know I know... 60 odd hour week will do that. I haven't actually finished the entire trip's write up yet, but I'm doing better than Toto I've also got a couple of blogs after the trip, only written up to half of it so far... hopefully this afternoon will be productive.
Crikey, this blog entry took an age! Glad to hear that you didn't push the car over the edge and managed to keep the backpacker place intact this time! Sounds like some interesting routes you took, hopefully will be able to do them myself one day!
Now's good. Bloody leave us hanging like that
Daaaaaaaaaaaawg! if you know what I mean?
27 bikes and around 35 people - a sign I think that Welly Ulysses is in pretty good heart.
Looks like I missed another good ride.

Awesome Blog, very well written, keep up the good work.
Good idea man!! If you're interested, have a look at my Mrs blog of our Motorbike trip through Europe last year: http://www.dancinginbarefeet.com/p/europe-sights.html It's not all about riding (the blog), but was an epic journey :P
Just dont go all pink tutu on us... Good write up so far Scott, for a WIP, its worth a trip back for a look see every now and then.
He's slacking isn't he? I'll give him a nudge (or kick) next time I see him...
So where's the rest of the report?
Completely forgot to add the videos... Done it now.
It's a good thing that Gremlin had some earlier practice writing up his rides! He's becoming pretty loquacious with his words now! Sounds like a great effort by TOTO on his Hornet, getting stuck into adventure riding with it. Will have to accompany you guys next time!
FD, I'm trying my first set of Michelin Anakee 2. They're certainly a road biased dual purpose tyre, but then I spend most of my time on the road, but wanted at least some traction on gravel etc. They've got big grooves in them so the tyre bites a bit better, while not moving and flexing like knobblies would when you push them hard on the road, especially the wet. Mileage is also much better than knobblies would probably be. Most have told me not to bother with pressures as it's not really getting that rough yet. I do carry an air compressor and have the ability to inflate and deflate my tyres when/if required. Mostly it's been for checking pressures and inflating after a puncture etc. The BMW is equipped with ESA, so I can also adjust my suspension settings at the touch of a button. I'm not a fan of camping yet, but hopefully I'll see the attraction at some point as you can go even further bush per se... just means more shit to carry tho...
Awww sweet blogging Phreaky Quite revealing if i may say so, glad you had a good born day.
Nice write up Bud
