Lucky that leak wasn't more serious, that certainly would've thrown a spanner in the works.
Taylors, Molesworth....the pics are awesome!
Not too surprised to see "silo-art" creeping into NZ as well.
Will be back for more reading lateron.

Love the yarn....and love the pics!
Stepping back from the actual event, the planning and thought going into this is pretty massive.
And also pretty intricate, considering the "theming" of it.

To be honest, long distance stuff has never been my thing and I couldn't really imagine it in a place like NZ where every single kilometer comes with a massive WHOWW factor.

I guess it's all the same to the locals though.

There's a EuroAlps annual King-of-the-passes event, trying to clock as many pass-roads within 8 riding days spread over the June-Sept riding season, each pass with a point-rating etc.
