Snowy Ride 2011

Here's a few happy snaps from this year's Snowy Ride http://snowyride.org.au/. I didn't take many photos this year, but here's a few.

The Snowy Ride raises money for the Steven Walter Foundation http://www.stevenwalterfoundation.org.au/ which provides funds for children's cancer research and treatment. They got it wrong though and gave the brand new Honda VFR1200 to someone else...

This year 3115 riders took part, and raised between $250,000 and $300,000 over the weekend.

I rode 1762kms over 4 days: there, back, the Snowy Ride on Saturday and a loop through Cabramurra and Khancoban for fun on Sunday. Nothing too heavy.

1. A panorama of Blowering Dam on the way home after riding through THICK fog in the high country. Visibility <50m!
2. A shot of the mountains from Cabramurra.
3. A panorama from Charlotte Pass. Kosciusko is the LH bump.
4. A pano of the Dalgety Bridge.
5. The elevation profile from my track.
6. Our trusty steeds at the Adaminaby checkpoint. We were the first 2 to check in.
7. Our bikes grazing at Tom Groggin.
8. My track.

Great fun!
