Thanks bikiba. That feedback is really helpful.
I'll get Maps uploaded for future rides and close ups of the packing. On blogs about other trips there are shots of the bike packed so I tend to think that more pics of that might bore the reader. But it seems not, so watch out for improvements in that department.
I always seem to be behind, hence the pics of 'your guys butt.' Someone else mentioned that too so once I made it my business to get shots of my butt instead.
