The final trip

The last of the pic's of the aussie outback, taken from about 10,000m.



The story of the stolen bike

Some mo-fo in sydney nicked my racer, when it was locked to a lamp-post, this caused a number of days of mass depression. Had to sort out a new set of wheels, and here's the first picture. No specialised rubbish on this trip!!
