Nancy Drew

I took these when I took Barry and his boys to lunch for one of his birthdays and then never shared them with him for some reason. I'm sorry he never saw them. Here's Barry and a very young Breandan & Conor

At my folks place, getting ready to leave for the next stage. He thought the chicken socks were fitting because my dads roosters woke him up making such a noise at 4am

I don't remember what was happening here

After we survived Breedts, me, HR & WW

Just Barry

Wonder woman and Holy Roller

Coffee after the ride - having a chat with Zoo Cookie

I believe that this was the first mine dump Hub ride

Wow, it's so nice to see some of the old (read original) hubbers that knew Holy Roller coming back to pay tribute and say cheers. I have so many memories and I've spent the morning reading our email exchanges over the years. At first daily, then weekly and slowly but surely weeks became months. Then out of the blue I'd get a "Hey, how are you doing? are you a happy girl?" or "you popped into my head so I thought I'd say hi while you're there", but time never ever put strain on our friendship. Every year there'd be an exchange that went along the lines of 'last year was busy and life got in the way, but lets remedy that this year' I'll miss that message at the beginning of next year. In the meantime, I've found some more pictures. I hope you all don't mind me sharing them

Devastated

Yep 9 years ago! Time flies when you're having fun

and this is Barry and I at the start of stage 3. Picture credit to the hubber whose name I can't remember (sorry!)

This is my favourite picture of Barry. It was taken at the start of stage 3 at CradleQuest. I've been reluctant to share it because I can't remember the name of the hubber that took it and I'd like to give her credit for the picture. Perhaps someone remembers her?

Approaching the top of Breedts Nek and still smiling

Taking a little break on one of the stages

Here he is with Mr Dangle at the pre race briefing

I know I have some pictures somewhere of our Mine dump group rides too. I'll have to look for them

That made me think of this picture. It's Barry pushing to the top of a hill in the inaugural Cradle Quest, in his Hub kit

I have no words ????
