2025 IBR Part Two

So, I had a late night on Friday night as I kept an eye on Chris, Stella and Bill finished off an epic eleven days of riding with Chris and Stella successfully finishing their second IBR.



(These pics of the ride finish are stolen from an album provided by a nice bloke who shared them with the world - cheers!)

And not only did they complete the ride, but they achieved a Gold Medal finish by riding 11,437 miles and not missing any of their bonuses.  This included visiting 42 State capitals (compulsory with the ride option they chose) which they had to somehow work into their route....


Today, I along with a few others got to chat with team FA-FO and hear a little about the ride and it was good to see and hear from them after they'd caught up on a wee bit of sleep as they make their way back Bills place to park up the Connie.

Oh, and here's an interesting looking tyre with 13,500 miles on it...


Anyway, another great achievement for the guys and I'm looking forward to catching up with them when they land back in NZ.
