i fly out wednesday.... land friday morning...... last 3 months have flown by.... yeah, the kids were a great bunch this year apart from the seniors.... the worst bunch i've seen in 8 years.... a great time on the whole.... and very sad to leave.... but its getting cold now.. time to come back to another summer...

wow that really has flown fast! Damn I wish I could do what you do, summer to summer, be bloody nice. Just have to have a bike in each country to make it really fun

Do you reckon the seniors are getting as bad as our teens here? there seems to be a big increase in the 'I dont give a shit attitude' in Nz, i wonder if it is the same in the US?

um, i think the teens here (USA) are in a league of their own...... although i do admit i live a sheltered life in NZ.... they are just so grown up.. i sometimes ask them why they give up their childhoods to be mini adults....
i have already arranged with a bike shop to buy a bike with a guaranteed buy back at the end of the summer next year....

(if i come back of course)..... flying out tomorrow. .so see you all soon!!!

And just to keep it on track, i bought these and received them yesterday, and they are a perfect fit!! Amazing cos I have not ever been able to buy bike boots to fit me and have had to always buy ones that are too big in the foot in order to fit around the calf. But these are perfect, so far anyway

Good armour and they are waterproof, added bonus!
Dont think they can be bought in NZ yet tho, so chat up your mates who are travelling to the UK, or check out Ebay.

By the way, I've got a pair of Styl Martin winter boots for sale (see online trading section) with built-up soles if there are any shorties out there!
