Welcome to "by Jeep To Freedom" ride. I have been part of the Fatboys now for 5 years and have ridden far and wide around the world with them. Follow us on our journey through Europe, retracing the war time experiences of my late father Woolf Blint, of the 6th Commando unit as told in his book "By Jeep To Freedom".

Kiev
Mark woke early to assemble his bike that arrived compliments of Lufthanser at 1 :45 am Brekky then on our bikes to join the others in their city hotel. Bike and packed panniers weigh about 25 kilo's so they took a few km to get used to the weight considering my bike at home weighs 8 kg. Mark was not impressed. We all met Sergey at the train station to collect our tickets then a walking tour of Kiev . Grand, but a bit tired. So much history and so little time to see it. Tonight we train it in overnight sleepers to L'vov. That's where dad and Andy met the 1st Ukraine army. I will also visit Rita's ( my wifes) dad's birth place. More later .by the way it's 35degrees.....bloody hot. Ron

Raining and 10 degrees in Melbourne. Saints had a 52 point win yesterday over North Melbourne! 25kg sounds normal, I bet Nigel's is heavier!? Have a great start from L'vov.
