BYE BYE to the King

I have to farewell my Kona bikes now... the 'King' goes back to one of my sponsors(bikeshop BSC Cycles) where it will be for sale for the next lucky person.
The 'King' has helped me twice to be the Australian Champion in my age group, win the Kona 24hr race and several other 6-,12- hour and other be successfull in shorter XC races.
I called it my fun bike with the overall comfortable set up!

one last hug

Farewell ride in the You Yangs

I was impressed by the amount of people that showed up for my very last ride in the You Yangs this Sunday. I very much enjoyed the ride in such a great company!!! Riding single track with such a big group is a bit of a stop and go in order not to lose each other and some of us(including me) got a bit cold due to heavy winds. But we were lucky with the weather and didn't get wet.Finished of with some moist 'Redwine-cake' (unfortunately it didn't rise in the oven, damn!) .

Thanks to you guys for coming along: Jacqui, Duncan, Vinca,Ewen, Katie, Russ,Ugly(not on the photo anymore), Dion, Dave, Sharon, Billy the dog, Rowan, Kelly, Ali, Marc, Scott, Turi, Tex, Pete and some others(which name I don't really know...sorry).
