The B.A.C.A Journey....

Damn FB and its eradication of my memories, I feel I can't go back in time and add in to this blog, can only start it from now, but our journey towards BACA started back in October when I contacted the Prez of Canterbury chapter to ask how we start this thing up up here... From there it's been slow up here in Marlborough, but I have been honoured to meet and be welcomed by BACA brothers and sisters in both Canterbury and Auckland, awesome awesome people.

So yesterday was the BACA 100 mile ride, where every BACA chapter around the world (over 500) ride 100 miles all on the same day... of course we see the day ahead of everyone else so we ride before them too LOL. 

Marcus and I jumped on the bike after work on Friday and rode down to Christchurch, was a bit chillier than anticipated but wet weather gear serves to break the wind wonderfully and the heated grips were just divine!!!  Any new bike is getting them put on before I even do my first ride on it!

Met up with the crew on Saturday morning and did the ride.  Good ride, weather held fine for us altho it didn't climb to the forecast 18 degrees LOL.  And then a very quick trip home again! Did it in pre earthquake roadworks time coming home, great trip!!!  And warmer :)  Sadly none of our other BACA wannabe's could make it down (yet again!)

Some photos from the ride....
