I really feel I we have known you two for a very long time. Remember about a century ago telling you it was really great to tour in Europe!!! Last year I thought we would actually meet but it wasn’t to be and this year we will be well home by the time you are back to the Loire. Have a safe trip home and dream of your next trip. For our time in Burgandy this year we will be with our daughter son in law and grandsons so that will be fun

4 months agoGreat write up Steve! What a champion Ian is. One of the things I love about cycle touring is the number of good people you meet along the way. It's very different to the story we get fed every day in the news. I look forward to reading about your trip with the grandchildren which I'm sure you're very excited about.
4 months agoKen and Michael looked at vidios Michael rang someone and they thought they had it! But I soon realised I had to always ride in the lowest gear! Yes we needed a 2024 Grampie

How right you are. We also feel like we have known you for years, we just haven't met in person yet. Life is full of surprises so who knows, one day maybe our actual paths will cross.
