Only a pleasure.


I like doing ride reports as it takes me back to the days as I'm typing about it.
I'm not the 'diary' type, but at the risk of sounding like some sort of emotional voyeur, documenting a trip like this to me is as much about the physical riding and experiences as what it is about my emotional experience of it.
;D

Eisbein my friend - this is one of  the most well-written and enjoyable ride reports I have had the pleasure to read!  :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:
You really captured the range of emotions that you all experienced and the great pics are the cream on top.
