What are those red poles?

Guide poles - marking the edge of the road.
Orange because white ones don't show up against the snow.
Most roads above the winter snow line have them - not all as tall as that!
:salute:

Oh I thought that given they seem to have an orange light on top they might be to mark out a helicopter landing area or something.

You'll notice there are only three 14's and no other bikes from the group in a lot of those photo's. That's because of me having an episode I hope I never have again while riding. Irish and Sweaty refused to abandon me, so for three days instead of blasting through the hills with the group they baby sat me and rode at 20 to 30kph because I couldn't go any faster.

I know it's what mates do but I can't thank you two enough for what you did. Jeff and Steve ... luv ya both.

Apparently it was low blood pressure Grog. I think that's sorted but the sleep thing is still with me.

Snapey, yrs ago my house got broken into. i came home, really annoyed at what theyd done. i was cranky. was told to sit down, chill out. i did. blood pressure went super low. adrenalin attack they call it. i had tears from eyes, snot from nose. wrecked. mrs called mum, thought i was dying, last time youll see him. doctor came, cure was easy, lay down with legs up. cured in 5 minutes. worth remembering. glad youre ok.
