Food Glorious Food

Franco constantly reminds me how important lots of food will be on this trip, and with space and weight a major consideration, we are please to have the exertise of Sally-Anne Livock in helping us prepare for the trip. It looks like pub meals are the go where possible but otherwise we will be carrying dried meals which will be rehydrated with the hot water available form the Jet-Boil stoves kindly donated by Anaconda.

Channel 7 News

Channel 7 are looking for new angles...any suggestions...

GPS

Franco's planning has been converted into GPS waypoints for half the trip....still a way to go....

Neck Braces

Neck braces do not work with BMW Rallye Pro coats....unless I am very much mistaken.

Kenilworth Training Ride

Another great weekend ride, this time thanks to the local knowledge of John and Mick. On the previous day they had both succumbed to a disasterous slide into a gully and spend hours dragging their bikes out inch by inch. Despite this they were the perfect guides and we had a great opportunity to experience some single track for the first time. Again the BMWs were faultless.

Maintenance

Have spent the weekend striping the bike down to run some repairs and modifications. I have discovered some broken Touratech parts so they will have to go back for replacement. Hope they stay together for 20,000km!
