Bucket List - Himalayan Tour Invitation

Late last year I got a call from a friend telling me that our mutual friend - Alex, was in hospital and the doctors didn't know what was wrong with him. Less than 24 hours later I got another call saying he was dead. Like me, Alex was in forties and was married and had a couple of kids. He always enjoyed life but was always busy working his butt off. It was all so he could "do stuff later"...

Being the shy, retiring, introvert that I am (reads as 'attention whore') I said "Sure. I know some guys that might like to come as well, just for the fun of it". That, apparently, was...

PCR - Kneez in the Breeze

 

Truth be told, the southern part of Western Australia hides many secrets. The surf is better, the trees are taller and yes, the roads are twistier than the north. So it was about time for the southerners to organise a ride around those places and show us northerners what it’s all about. There was a catch: we had to get out of our beds ‘bout the same time the sun rose, since our meeting point was Mandurah around eight thirtyish. Mandurah is about 65 clicks south of Perth, so that meant no time to even sip a...
