London to Auckland

A stunning day of riding.Perfect weather, flat calm river and great scenery. Covered the 310km to Vucovar in Croatia in 4 hours and were met on the river bank there by Ivan’s family for a relaxing lunch. Then it was a max speed run to Belgrade. 170km in 1hr and 50 min. We had a ball. Cable tied the throttle on max and went for it.The machines were sucking fuel at 37 liters per hour. Today really was the ultimate ride and I will never forget it. The welcome in Belgrade was the biggest and best yet. Quite overwhelming with a massive media presence. During the celebrations we all heard that one of the young cancer sufferers supported by our hosts Nurdor had just died and we were reminded again of what it’s really all about.Very sad.
