@geave it will happen, thanks for the nudge

@SW-User lunch box is always well stocked. Yeah, get your bike back, you sound like a natural.

@Repete Wow! That's fantastic. I bet you have some brilliant memories and great photos. What an achievement. Did you camp with a tent that you carried or pitch up in motels, or both? Love to know type of bike etc.

@Ironicman yes I carried a tent and a small stove and every thing I needed . Mostly tented at campsites a few times tented in the woods along the way and about every 4 days stayed at a hotel or something like that to take care of things that needed to be done. I do have many memories and pictures . I have a Trek bike mountain bike that's about 30 years old I got at a yard sale 10 years ago. I'll see if I can come up with some pictures .

@Repete definately, i would love to see some pics. It will inspire me. You cant beat a trek. In fact ive just got off mine after a 30 mile ride to London and was thinking it still rides like new after 6 years and about 5000 miles. Very well built.

@Gangstress that sounds about right. You gotta do some time in the saddle first to get some fitness up and your bottom, "bike ready." Maybe we could do a team SW tour de france??

@Ironicman I'd definitely be up for that. The beauty of Europe is the fact you can cycle through it 🤗 i do hope you have fun, maybe do a travel diary on here. Id love to read about your adventure

@Ironicman 🙂

@Dlrannie i have been know to wear lycra tights and shorts on long rides.. im well behaved and stop at reds.
