Awesome!! If I had a beer right now, I'd toast you and the Rustys.

Shafty recommends you get one!

Nice bike in your profile pic BTW

That night I reflected on the rally for the first time. I thought I’d be more pleased with myself but instead I felt only a quiet satisfaction of a job reasonably well done. Maybe it will sink in later.

Has it sunk in yet?
I'm still in the "afterglow" phase.
I get a kick every time I think of it.

Good to meet you and read your write up. Should get organised and do one myself.

Nice to meet you too Highlander.
Has it sunk in yet? I guess so. I look back and in my quieter moments I smile to myself and people wonder what I am smiling about. My "afterglow" lasted all of a day, kids bring you down to earth real fast. I keep the badge in a glass on top of the PC so I can sneak a peek now and again.

One neat thing is when people ask about the rally & I explain where we went in a week, the look on some faces is priceless.

Any time anyone mentions it I break out in a big dopey grin, can't help it.

More often just a quiet smile and nod to myself.

Any thoughts on the mini return?

Great write up MaxB. Two years until the next one! Thanks for the outline of your ride back north. Cheers.

I'll have to miss the GC as that weekend I'll be in Brisbane ready to start the Postie Bike challenge. But don't forget the Chatto Creek 1000 miler on the first weekend in December.
