I admire how much distance you cover on your bike, WPT.

I don't admire it as much as I consider it a form of self flagellation :?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

It was today. Just wasn't up to it when I left at 6.4am! Group of four of us. We are not fast but we're in the 25-30 m / hr group generally but I really felt it today despite the absence of wind.

I need to walk more and eat less.

Haha, I was just saying the same thing to Lola! She's been going on about that for years, despite my scepticism. Pretty happy to see it being discussed, though!

The daughter is having a blinder.

She messaged me yesterday for Fathers day, and they're really seeing Europe in that campervan.

After spending a couple of days at a makeshift caravan park with pirated electricity, she's now been through Spain and Portugal (staying at a joint called The Gspot Hostel :? ) and now onto Morocco.

I can see someone struggling badly to settle back into work when they come back.

Good luck, that's a seriously boring drive, just flat dry land.

I hope you can sustain the craziness with little sensory input. :wink:

At least check out some of the little towns you'll go through. Don't bother with Finley though.
