Hoping to see them coming up the road.....<br /><br />So glad Monie's accident wasn't worse. Never good when the helicopters have to come in. A heli ride will run you about 20k here too, since it isn't covered under most insurance policies. Fingers crossed for a quick recovery for her.<br /><br />And good job finishing another C1K<br />Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35229604.post-2813248376637487402014-11-11T17:43:56.741+13:002014-11-11T17:43:56.741+13:00Thanks Nils.

I was one of the group of three that was dogging you all through the day, and which flagged you down when you were riding back from Ashhurst when one of your group had taken a tumble. Glad to hear that the injury to your colleague is not serious (pity about the VFR, though - I'm a fellow VFR rider). You captured our group of 3 in one of your photos taken across the road outside the Whangamomona hotel (my VFR is the red one, next to your colleagues blue one). Pass on our regards, and hopefully a quick recovery. Cheers.
