Great Vic Bike Ride 2019 – Videos

Welcome to 2020.

I hope everyone has had a great break over the Holiday Season. My family went to Canberra to visit family over Christmas and New Year which was great except for the extremely bad smoke levels on a few days caused by the bushfires along the east coast of Australia. Our hearts go out to those who have lost family, friends or property and to the brave volunteer fire fighters working hard to save as much as possible. Perth on the west coast has not been directly affected.

While I was in Canberra, I had some time to edit the video footage recorded on the Great Vic Bike Ride 2019 along the Great Ocean Road.

Great Vic Bike Ride 2019 – Where is David? He is riding the Great Ocean Road

As of today, I am on a flight to Melbourne with my wife Jennifer, my single road bike and a road bike tandem. We are off to take part (with some 5,000 soon to be friends) in the Great Vic Bike Ride 2019 for 10 days.

This year the ride is starting in Robe, South Australia on Friday 22-Nov-2019 and travelling along the Great Ocean Road for 652km and arriving in Torquay, Victoria on Sunday 01-Dec-2019. With a couple of days either side for travel arrangements, I will be out of the office for two weeks.

#CaminoDeSantiago Where is David for the next four weeks?

I did mention in my last few posts that something was coming up and the title has given the surprise away, but here it is…..

Jennifer and I left South Africa after the GPUG Amplify South Africa 2018 conference (click for the wrap-up link) and headed for Spain.

#GPUGAmplifySA GPUG Amplify South Africa 2018 Conference – Wrap Up

My trip to South Africa is completed and the GPUG Amplify South Africa conference is over for another year.

I am looking forward to coming back again to meet with the Microsoft Dynamics GP community in South Africa.

#GPUGAmplifySA GPUG Amplify South Africa 2018 Conference – Part 2

After a fantastic few days leading up to the conference, the first day of GPUG Amplify South Africa 2018 has finally arrived.

Jennifer accompanied me on the first day to help Angie Ryan and Katie Froeber with registration and then be there later for the end of the day when there were cocktails.

I will explain more in an article soon, but I will need to be relatively brief with my coverage of the GPUG Amplify South Africa 2018 conference. Needless to say Jennifer and I had a fantastic time in South Africa.

From my perspective, it was wonderful to have my wife along for the trip so she could meet some of the great people I work with… my “Conference Buddies”. That’s what I call my friends in the Microsoft Dynamics GP community that I only catch up with at conferences.

#GPUGSummit 2017 Conference Wrap Up

With the conference over and everyone leaving Nashville, all that was left was the journey home. It was surprising how quickly the hotel changed all the banners for the next event!

I managed to organise a late checkout, as my flight was in the afternoon, allowing me to sleep in for the first time in two weeks. The journey was smooth and uneventful and would make a boring blog post. All I can say it was great to get picked up at Perth Airport by my two sons and get back to the real world.

#GPUGSummit 2017 Conference Day 3

The third and final day of the conference had arrived. Everyone was a little slower after the excitement of the previous day and the partying during the downtown experience last night.

Mariano and I had two more session to present in the morning and then we would be free to relax a little.

#GPUGSummit 2017 Conference Day 2 – Part 2

Wow, what a morning so far.

Apart from the stress of trying to get Leslie to the GPUG Community General Session, watching the emotional rollercoaster she went on was amazing and draining at the same time. I am so thrilled that I can call Leslie Vail, MVP and GPUG All Star, my friend.
