At least you get to face the week with a rally behind you.
I didn't even get to ride my bike and the new week is about to start.

My tent is still hanging on the clothes line after being blasted with the hose... some of the shit did not want to budge... attack the boots sometime tomorrow.

Yeah it was an awesome ride today home, up through central, we covered over 1000km( the "Sensible" one will be likley to argue the distance as he seems to have some charactor issues with is odometer piece) over the 2 days.
It was bloody cold through Clyde, dropping to 4 degrees with shitter fog.
As soon as that cleared it was wicked runnin all the way!!!

Left Free2B's place and had cruized down to Lawrence for a coffee, We originally thought RM had left to meet up with the day ride but he was running later than us.

Made it to the site and meet up with DaffyD and set up camp in sheet shit lane... Then off for our own ride as we missed the organised day ride from the rally... up to Millers Flat crossing the bridge and riding the other side of the river, and back into Roxburgh for a late lunch. Back down to Etrick and spirited ride with Bruce up and over to Moa Flat (Awesome road and ride for all bikes, awesome sweepers that wind up with a few nice tighter corners.) A quick refuel at Tapanui and then back to the site to do the rally stuff of drinking and talk shit knee deep in sheep shit. We had our own entertainment of a random picture graphic war and I did see and hear others commenting on our fun so the digital camera was pointed in their general direction ;-) (randomly of cause)

Next morning loading the the bikes up the shit was every where... and was low cloud stuck in the valley, it was slowly being burnt off by the morning sun but it was too slow and lingering as we left. Morning roads were pretty clear and just a few minor sheltered spots to watch. IN to Lawrence for Brunch and coffee. Next stop off to Milton for a refuel and I took the lead.... Manuka Gorge yah

Waiting for the group to catch up at the petrol station off up to Waihola for refreshments and yet another chin wag. Rossi and Botb off up state 1 while Allan, Glenys and myself tiki toured our way back criss crossing one and then out to Outram and into Mosgiel, Fairfield, Green Island and back to Glenys place for a coffee. Decided to spray and wash the tents of sheep crap and then dry them out.

Great to catch up with every one and overall not a bad bouquet rally. Will admit it did feel as if something was missing. There was no competitions... burn-out, tats, wet-jock for the ladies, wet-T, etc. The alchol and food prices were reasonable and we had fun.

1)- Circle of friends
2)- errr a fire
3)- next morning
4)- partying

Coming soon to a forum near the first annual "Spot the Odd One Out at a Rally" competition. No cash, no prizes but a good time will be had.

Good wee rally, enjoyable ride, stunning scenery, great people, not much more to say really. Absolutely knackerd when I got home, some 1100km in two days takes it toll. More tonight.
