Ok so Ill keep it a bit brief cos ive got 7mins left and then we are out of here and accross the French boarder in a matter of minutes. The tour was a bloody ball. Did heaps of great long rides with James and Emma and a few nasty hills too. We rode every morning and then ate for pretty much the rest of each day. Im now fat and strong. Lunches and dinners were 5 course and there was no shortage of alchole either. What a blast. Made a few great new friends,...

Having an absolute ball here in Lenola and loving it. The Friday that the clycle tour started Dianne and I got dropped at a beach town called Spalonga whilst Dave and Emma went to pick up the rest of the crew.

The bus was some 40mins late from Lenola and that meant I...

It was pretty impressive but by the end of it I was sort of thinking just some more old s***. The colosseum was an awesome site and amazing to see such construction from so long ago. Walked around some other old things, took some Barks style photos and some self pose sho...

Well this is just a quick note to say that ive now arrive at my new location in Italy where ill be for 3 weeks. Im in a little town called Lenola about an hour from rome towards naples Its a 30km ride to the beach down hill all the way but im guessing the ride home is a bit tireing. Its going to be great riding around here though and im looking forward to that. Emma and I headed off from Offenburg about 10am yesterday and did most of the drive in the one day....
