Finally on the move again after spending a few months in Cambridge sorting out the house etc. Honey wanted to see Scotland and I wanted to inspect my square foot of land at Laphroaig 😀 With both of us now very slow on the bikes I finally decided to get the train to Edinburgh and […]

Tomorrow as the Tour de France cycle race ends we depart to do our own little tour, interestingly back to the origins from which TdF was born! The first stage is from Luxembourg Airport to Pont Au Mousson to take part in the Federal Semane cycling week. The next stage a week or so later […]
