Stuck this on my blog but thought I'd post it here so other's could add their thoughts:


Well it's the 30th of December and with no riding planned for today and work tomorrow that means the year is pretty much over in terms of bike riding. So, I thought it might be a good idea to wrap up the year with a summary of the year's high lights, disappointments and my biking plans for 2008. So here goes:


High Lights

  • 2007 Rusty Nuts Southern Cross - the Southern Cross is always great fun.
  • Buying the Concours - sad to say goodbye the the Bandit but always great to get a new toy.
  • 2007 Rusty Nuts Grand Challenge. The worst weather on record only made the sense of achievement greater.
  • Meeting some of the local Kiwi Bikers and enjoying some great rides with them.
Low Lights

  • Twanger in the van backing into the Bandit.
  • Concours falling over on the Coast to Coast.
  • Far too many RIP/Biker down threads on Kiwi Biker.
  • Not being able to afford more bikes/riding...
Plans for 2008

  • Chateau to Plateau - Jan
  • Mini's Return - March
  • Grand Challenge - October
  • As much riding as I can squeeze in...
Well that's about it I think, so Happy New Year to all who read this and if you're riding in 2008, have fun but be careful!
