Photos are up
Photos are up, but not yet captioned. I think by about day 5 I got sick of taking photos because the scenery was pretty much all the same. I didn't even take a photo of the finish line! LMAO!
Still a bit tired; I'll post details about the ride later. Right now, I'm doing a mountainload of laundry so I've got some clean riding clothes. What does it say about me that I just finished riding almost 600Km and all I want to do is get back on the bike? 
For now, enjoy the photos. A couple notable ones are: the chick in the red shirt in pics 3 and 4 is my mum. The two pics below her are of BestMate's exploded tyre (he ran over a rock or something, the tyre went KA-BOOM! and the rock flew up into my face - ouch). The rest of the pics are mostly countryside (very pretty) and the occasional oddity. About halfway down are a couple photos of some local's front yard - full of garden gnome art! Enjoy the irony of tents pitched next to the "no camping" signs! There's some photos of my gliding experience too. Yes, that's a parachute I'm wearing!
There's some pics there of BestMate in his tiny, eeny-weeny tent. And towards the bottom, there's some photos of me barely awake in our tent. Yes, I have very bad hair. Helmet head. The last couple photos are of some local's front yard. Yes, that's a Santa Claus. And Christmas decorations. In September. I get the impression they're a year-round attraction.
Anyway.. I'll caption all the photos later. Enjoy!
