    And thank you BMWRSNUT for telling me to get my shit together when I was about to turn around and head back down when I was getting very cold and wet (didn't wear enough layers...)

    Awesome lumpy track past the hut

    quite a challenge for the bigger bikes - it was fooking steep in places....

    Oops - 1 meant Sat 2 July

  6. Riding around Europe Post 10: Dubrovnik to Mostar

    Before I bang on about my travels north from Dubrovnik, I would like to crave your indulgence for a digression. No you say, well tough because I am going to anyway. I have a “friend” who sang in a band which for a nanosecond enjoyed some fame. Indeed , he was interviewed by then pop prince, Peter Sinclair and was amongst the first band members ever to wink directly at the camera on a local TV pop show. Actually , he was so taken by Peter Sinclair that he went to a barber asking for ...

  7. Riding for work… 2? (25/06/2011)

    Typical… depths of winter, my beloved BMW in a crate probably half way around the world and being paid to ride around the country. Terrible isn’t it?

    Another trip to Wellington was called for, to change a couple of modem configs, the only downside being a weekend trip and work both sides during the week, but who cares? Any ride is a good ride in my book.

  8. Riding around Europe Post 9: Bol Nuevo to Dubrovnik

    The road from Bol Nuevo , Spain to Bari in Italy provided a glimpse some of the worst aspects of society.

    It starts pleasantly enough, winding through the hill to Cartagena. From then on it just goes backwards. In the 70's this coast was the premier package holiday destination. To meet demand hotels were built and designed by architects and developers whose catch cry was “ Yes I know it looks cheap and nasty but the money I make from it means I won't have to ...
