    It was good following you Rosie, you have an awesome left hand line. I've got to sort out my wild flailing over all of the road for South America

    Thanks Mark. Was a great ride over the two days with an excellent mix of riding terrain. Thanks to Colin as well sweeping from the back. I met some really great people.

    Not sure if you counted to ten but thanks for pulling me out the bush in 42nd when I decided it was time for a bit of hide & seek.

    Body is so sore and seriously contemplated staying at home today but had my pink flavoured milk this morning and just parked in the disabled parking bay at work.
    Life is uncertain, eat desert first!

    Threw a quick edit of footage from sat. I learnt a few things about the GoPro this weekend, need to wipe the lense more and change the angle a bit.
    Watch in HD for best results.

    Cool little video Chris. The KTM sounds like a Ducati in the speeded up bits...

    The gravel is pretty much the same as last year. Because of the rain the grass section was pretty slippery in places, so was a lot slower going than I remember it being last year, which might make it seem longer.

    I reckon; the gravel seemed even thicker and less bicycle-friendly than it was last year
