It's been a big week but we're here at Rally HQ in Greenville, SC. As I write, the bulk of the batshit crazy participants signed up for IBR 2019 are somewhere in the local area, with a few of the (mostly big dogs) still on their way in. The last leg of our ride into…
In London Town
We're staying in London tonight! No, not that London, London, KY! It's the end of day 2 on the road to Greenville and I'm feeling like a lightweight! Admittedly we haven't been pushing hard, but they've felt like long-ish days in the saddle and yet we've only covered around 800kms (500mi) a day! We left…
Minnesota nice
We've arrived! After a 14.5 hour flight that apparently only took 15 minutes (we took off at 12.35pm on Thursday from Sydney and arrived at 12.50pm on Thursday in Dallas) we changed planes, had to repack our bags, and made it to sunny Minnesota around 7.30pm. After a delicious dinner catching up with our American…

SOooo close!
It's less than 2 days now until we board our flight to Dallas and it's been a busy week and a half. As some of you will know by now, we'll be riding a new and different bike on the IBR than we thought! Towards the end of BLIX last year, there was a funny…
Keeping on keeping on
Last weekend was our last ride together before we take off for the US of A. We'd planned a while ago to meet up with friends for lunch in Temora and now it was pony up time. We agreed to leave by 7am and I can only say that I started the day tired. Getting…
Big Things Leg 3
So with Leg 2 scoring done, and some good lessons learnt, we said farewell to Ox and Simon and got back on the road. Technically we had 14 hours to finish our ride (10am to midnight) but with the aim to be back in Sydney by 4 that cut riding time down to 6 hours.…
