Alice Springs and Back Again.

It's been quite a while since I updated the blog! Several years of riding and just generally living. The back surgery was successful and so my motorcycling days are continuing - a few  rides in the mountains - Snowy Mountains Highway is my favourite, it is definitely one of Australia's best rides. But recently (only weeks ago) the final gravel section of the Mitta highway has finally been sealed, so that great ride awaits me.

A few months ago an old acquaintance of mine, Ian H, contacted me to say he and another friend of his (David H) were riding to Alice Springs for the Ulysses Club AGM, in May this year. Would I like to join them on the ride? Would I! So we planned our trip and after a couple of weeks on the road, here I am back again. What a trip it was.

Shorter than my Darwin excursion on the T-Max; more intense, though, because we covered over 6,000 km in two weeks. I made no record of the trip at the time, but David spent most of his spare time putting an excellent diary together. I have altered some of it, added a few of my own photos, and here it is as part of the blog.
