Default To Bosnia and back...

Well, we are back. I'm not sure if Andy or Nick have already posted but I thought I'd post in the best area of .org

3600 miles, 13 countries and 1 tyre (not one of ours mind) later. Had an awsome time, saw some incredible scenary and rode some absoilutely brilliant roads (and some pretty dia ones too)

EDIT - and drank Eastern Europe dry of beer!

Here are a few pictures - stories to folow at the next meet...

Yeah....I had a whale of a time!

Can you not tell?!?

That was an early morning pic and it was a pretty hectic schedule with many roads to ride and beer to drink so relaxing it was not. But it was an absoloutely fantastic holiday and roads were amazing! I thought my tyres would get horribly squared off but from the croatian coast through slovenia, italy and switzerland it was 100% twisting mountain roads my arms still ache from heavy breaking for the hairpin corners.

I'll start uploading some on-board footage soon so you can all have a ganders.

WOOHOO I am back!

What an amazing trip. So many countries, roads, people, languages, food. It has blown my mind. There are so many stories to tell, like failing to get into Serbia, dodging minefields in Bosnia, Getting hospitality from a Croatian hardliner who's war hero is in the Hague at the moment . List of best ever biking roads too! Don't know where to start. Here are a few photos Philbut DIDN't want you to see
