2 days ago, I registered my mobile phone number at POI66.  With this service I can easily send GPS coordinates with the use of a SMS/text message. 

Instantly, the coordinates will show up in a Google Map on their site.  So people at home can see where I am, but also write in the guest book as I can also post some small messages along with the coordinates.

For my next ride, this feature will show up on this site as kind of a Splash page.  So you will see this first before seeing the home page.

And now the only thing that is needed is cell phone coverage…

 Initially when I bought the bike I had the idea I really needed the ABS for safety reasons.  I had to give up 5cm of travel, which was available at the S version of the KTM Adventure.

As all/offroading became more and more a passion, I missed these extra 5cm (bottoming out, getting stuck on trees, …).

As riding with the Nufenens (real names: Javi & Marta) was such a success and nice time, taking more trips together was a wish we both had.

After talking about rides, memories of the ride in August and planning for the next years, Javi made a proposition to me to come to the Barcelona-Andorra ride in October

As I upgraded the software (not really an upgrade but a fresh environment), currently it is not yet possible to register at my site.

For registered users on my old site, this also means that you can’t login yet.  In the next few days I will transfer the user accounts to the new environment and logging in & registration will be possible again!

After having a wonderful time on the 4th European Advrider Rally in Sort and having the feeling that there was a lot more to ride in that area.  Also, due to the heavy rainfall some river crossings where not possible at that time.

More pictures…

Movie time!

The Youtube movies that also could be found on my old site can be seen here (on a special request of Javi

)

 In May 2008 I attended the 4th (for me the first  ) European Adventurerider Rally in the Spanish Pyrenees.
