Well it's all over for another year.

The bikes and gear are already on their way back to the UK and three of the lads are en-route to the airport. The remainder of us will head off after a lunchtime pint.

This year's model (smaller van, smaller numbers and staying at the Alberdini hotel) has worked well.

Next year's event will be from 5th to 12th October 2013 but will be limited to a maximum of eight riders.
