Riders Lodge

... cans collecting water. Bikes are well used to carry everything from bananas, stacks of wood, papyrus, avocadoes, people etc, the riders have great balance. I will appreciate my washing machine more than ever now, having seen the women down at the river ...

... . While not giving the same feeling of authenticity, they save trees - so fiberglass all the way I say! The mokoros accommodate two riders with the "poler" standing up at the rear to propel and steer with his pole (think Venice - kinda). The job of ...

... 14:00 and it is 65F (remainder of trip will be in Fahrenheit). Lots of bikes on the road now, but none like mine :). H-D riders are still snobs though. Arrived at New Smyrna Beach at Kate Ryan's new house -- pretty snazzy with screened in pool and patio; ...

... raining.  Finally the manager made the call that there would not be any riding because of safety for the horses, and the riders.  Although I was disappointed that I didn't ride, the bigger picture is the safety aspect.  In lieu of riding ...

... the course of a few months that we do some travelling on motorbikes! So as a balance we have employed the services of Dalat Easy Riders to drive (I want to say ride us around but that does not sound right) us from Dalat to the Mekong Delta. We shall be ...

... all regulated and trustworthy!!! Holy Cow!!! Then our hotel was off the beatin path and taxi helped us find the right place. The Riders Lodge was nice enough. Nothing great but it was cozy and their personal service was quite good. Overall I would rate it ...

... capital of Gobabis, and heading on out over some tiny but very challenging hills, and later discovering from other grinning riders entering camp, that we had completely bypassed the second Wimpy’s of Africa; after riding an excellent team time ...

... Sue and Allan with a cheque for $100,000, the first of a commitment of three such cheques. A great contribution. All the riders were presented with a medallion as a momento of our achievement. A number of speeches were made, Rachel was christened "the ...

... But that didn’t seem to matter to Kate as she talked us through our first day. In fact her view is that experienced riders can find it more difficult to adopt her methods of natural horsemanship as it requires their “un-learning” much of ...

... towards the crowd which was a little unnerving, especially when they carried on through the crowd at high speed. A number of the riders chose to ride barefoot with spurs strapped to their heels, the saddles were also very minimal. It was a really ...

... Village we walked to the Hudson River where we walked the Hudson River Bike Trail. There were lots of walkers, joggers and bike riders using the trail. We walked the Hudson River Bike Trail to the Chelsea Piers. The piers have been converted to a sports ...

... nice enough to look at the Queen for me to tell me what was wrong so I wouldn't get ripped off at the shop. The riders showed up soon afterwords and we had a really nice lunch. Dinner was held at Avanti's Italian Restaurant by the local State Farm agent ...

... , from this point on. While I wanted to spend all my time with them, I also thought I should congratulate a few of the riders, all the while being intercepted by well wishers and one or two interviewers, and I ended up just wildly running around slapping ...

... , I urged Linda to hop into the front of the helicopter next to the pilot; I would sit in the back with the other two riders. While the rotors were turning, we ducked and hustled up to the open door next to the pilot. Linda hopped into the left front ...

... of the Namibian highlands down to the coastal plains on the way to Solitaire. Of course, this lent its own particular dangers, as riders would suddenly, and without warning or avoidance measures, screech to a halt in front of others to take that once in a ...

... ages. Armed with his GPS Andy took us to 'Fangorn Forest' (in the film), where we saw the spot where Emoer and the Riders of Rohan burnt the remains of the dead orcs after their epic battle. It was quite interesting really, although I really need to see ...

... naugahide with pink button cushioning on the walls and ceilings and hanging origami fish and a tv with a bizarre comedy show with BMX riders and other wild stunts and men dressed in womens clothes. It was quite a show. We are moving our way through ...

... we were immediately hit with 25 - 30 mph headwinds, and gusts of 40 - 45 mph, which lasted for the remainder of the ride. Many riders opted out at the lunch SAG, and shuttled to Fort Davis. Others opted out at the 60 mile SAG. I tried to stay with the ...

... commented that the most frightened people had been the guides, who probably had never seen such a large group of inexperienced riders. Even here in Lesotho there were helmets available although it was not obligatory to wear them. Everyone seemed to enjoy ...

... 45 minute drive to Fongorn Forest. We stopped and walked about 250 metres (Andy with his gps machine) to a spot where Eomer and the Riders of Rohan burnt the remains of the dead Orcs after the battle in Lord of the Rings. Now I haven't actually seen any ...
