Home safe and sound in the early hours of this morning and once again, managing to negotiate "kangaroo alley". Boy were the buggers thick!
A most excellent ride in for our 3rd muster, absolutely fantastic to see it so well supported and thank you to all involved. Just like our riding maxim, plan the ride, ride the plan, the same can be said of our musters. Top marks everyone.
I can safely say that the "theme" for this year as presented by all the orators gelled together extremely well culminating with Wom's presentation being the highlight. Ya would've thought we'd planned it that way
Lots in the pipeline for development especially the rally format. I'd like to echo what Cuddles said about participants and that is, the need for more of them. If you have never tried or think its just nuts or too hard or I'll never be any good, or it's not for me or what-bloody-ever, think again. Remember, its not about winning or losing, its about being part of something bigger, something that is huge fun (yes, I've done a few both solo and as a 2up team), it is only as challenging as you make it, it is a test of character and resolve (but isn't any LD ride like that?) and rallying is something that the ensuing camaraderie creates, is life long. You'll laugh at other peoples mistakes, we'll laugh at yours and in the end we all have a great time filled with belly aches, fun times and the urge to do it all again. Go on, have a crack, you know you want to.
Again, thank you to all involved because without you, there'd be no IBA Australia. Hip, hip...
