I hope we’ve got it off to a fine art now as it’s our 13th crossing! The worst was with coach loads of American teenagers who got drunk as quickly as possible and spent the whole night shouting to each other.
We’ve also learnt to always get cabins, I’m way too old to sleep rough.

Every year since 2010 (Covid excepting) we’ve ridden down to Greece, with a different route or focus each time. Last year it was a wander down through Italy to Bari via Herculaneum to see the archeological site and lots of bones, a great ride other than high winds and driving rain until we reached G...

It’s certainly re...

Gosh, that looks like fun! I’m now even happier that I let Lukas do it for me…

As it’s likely to be the last sunny day for the foreseeable future I want out for a ride. Sad it wasn’t quite as warm as yesterday but it was dry… mostly… except for the bit where I found that Farmer Giles had dragged about half an acre of wet mud out onto the road.
