Friday evening and the first bike is boxed and ready to go.  You would think that after the tours we've done before, I would be so chilled getting the bikes ready for the flights, but no......Yesterday, I was super stressed, but today I've been pretty relaxed and everything ticked along smoothly. 

One bike boxed and taped, the other one nearly ready. It's just waiting for us to figure out the airtag. Brody did it for us.
One bike boxed and ready. Just need to figure out the air tag and we can box the other. That shouldn't take long. (Brody did it for us)


Neither of us are looking forward to the 17 hour flight to Doha, or the 11 hour stopover.  However, we have our sleeping mats in our carry on luggage and we plan to find somewhere in Doha airport, where we can crash. 

Spain and France are both experiencing heatwaves at present and while everyone likes some sunshine, 30 - 40 degrees is very warm when you're riding all day.  It was 30C in Paris today and 41 in Seville. Glad we're not going to Spain. 

Didn't spend much time in the studio this week, but it was good to see that Brody and Aimee getting to know the clients and taking it all in their stride.  They are probably looking forward to having the house to themselves over the coming months. 

We've managed to have final catch ups with friends and family during the week. Some we haven't seen as they've been away themselves or sick.  But we enjoyed an online chat with sick St Toffa and marvelled how useful phones can be. From calls to online check ins, to maps, weather updates and Google translate, managing money and bills etc as well as staying in touch. Travelling has changed alot!

We think we're ready, but we're soon to find out.

Here we go again!

It's hard to believe that we are nearly half way through 2025. It's scary to think that 40 years on from my first bike tour, I possibly only have half that amount of time left to be able to ride a bike, let alone tour on one. As a fitness trainer, my mortality was given a shake up at the end of last year, when two of my long term clients (and lovely people) died, out of the blue. They were 54 and 63 years of age. I t really opened my eyes and made me realise that the life that we have led will change, no matter how fit or adventurous we are, the clock is ticking. Forty years ago, life was endless, now we need to think carefully about what we take on and how we go about it.  So, with that in mind, this tour, all being well, will start in France and end in either Greece or Turkey. It will include the French Alps, Swiss Alps, Italian Alps and Dolomites, Austrian Alps, Julien Alps( Slovenia) and other beautiful scenery in between and beyond.  After a 1985 tour which took me t...

Had a great night's sleep until 4am when we got up to the loo. Had just got back into bed when Sue's burglar alarm went off. Sue got up to check things and turn off the alarm and said she was going to have a cup of tea. I was wide awake so got dressed and joined her in the kitchen while Pete went back to sleep until 7am. Sue and I had a great chat with numerous cups of tea and chai latte until the boys got up. After saying goodbye to Ned, who was off to work, Sue made us delicious bacon and eggs and then we grabbed showers. A final coffee before heading out the door to the airport.  Thank you Ned and Sue for hosting us again and for dropping us at the airport, which was a seamless operation.  Getting the boxes through the bollards on the trolley however was not quite so seamless as we couldn't fit. Had to unload the boxes outside the bollards and push the trolley through and reload the boxes on the other side.  Had the same challenge with the bollards right outside the ai...

Up early. Washed sheets, folded towels and put away and as Julia was finishing her yoga, I began mine. Sheets out to dry, time for shave, haircut and shower (which I also cleaned), before sitting down to a lovely breakfast, which Julia had prepared.  Before we knew it Shaz had arrived with the Jeep, to take our luggage, including bike boxes, to the airport.  At the same time, I climbed in with Brody and Aimee for the journey out there.  Check in went smoothly and the girl dealing with us, was heading to Athens in a couple of weeks, so was interested to hear our plans. Bike boxes weighed 23.9kg and 24.3kgs, but she waved us through. Qatar airlines limit is 25kgs, so no issue tomorrow. We are carrying both panniers as on board luggage, plus my sleeping bag strapped to my bag and we both have another smaller bag, for phones and such like.  In total, 12 people came to bid us farewell. Brody and Aimee, Margaret and Dad (Jimmy), Jack and Briana, Irena And Tony, Dave and Sa...
