2 wheely vacation coming up soon- Yeah

So, this time next week I'll be off to Europe for 3 weeks.

Week one, I go to my daughter's leavers celebration from high school (much proud parent sniffling), and then up to Yorkshire ( land o'my heart) to see the parentals - and to "test ride" a Santana Niobium tandem for a couple of days. I said that I don't live there and that I'm not going to buy it - the dealer said don't worry, we have the demo bikes free and we're supposed to get them used. So, I'm happy to help!

Week 2, I'm cycling in Brittany France, and watching the TdF pass through. A week with the folk I've had great cycling weeks over the last few years, including Helsinki to Stockholm and London to Copenhagen

Week 3, my brother wants me to try his Honda Fireblade and his BMW GS1200

Yip yip Yip

After that, I go back to Bahrain refinery while Wife and Daughter and Son go to California. Oh well, it's an honour and a privilege to pay!

Life is good

I am truly envious.
