Heading home just coming off the Grand Banks (and one mile above the cycling path)
Have cycled in the gym every day for an hour (16 miles). The girl in the gym said I had not missed a day. (Unfortunately, I also have not missed a meal.) Down to one vertical machine that works well so I have to get up around 5:30 am to get the use of it. In a few days I will be in New York but alas, my bike is in Maine so I won't get to take it for a spin for a few days longer as we are staying with my daughter for my grandson's birthday.

All in all my impression so far is that Barcelona seemed the most bike friendly city but I am hardly a proper judge having spent so brief a time in Monaco, Rome, Naples, Gibralter, Lisbon and South Hampton.

Hope to publish some bike pictures when I get back to my own computer.
