Having not had a holiday from work for 6 months i need a break.
G/F has given me a free pass, so what shall i go for?

Euro trip in Spain/France etc
Similar trip in the UK
Do it alone & go cycle touring in the UK

Hmmm. Any suggestions/ideas gratefully received.

(the last time i did this was 7 yrs ago with sierracycling)

Not heard of them. I'll take a look.

I'll be doing it solo 'cos the G/F is working so whatever i do will need to accomodate sad single blokes...

Do something totally different - Solo cycle touring

Pieface - that's something i've recently come around to the idea of, however i'm finding i REALLY want some sun & a change of scenery.

Just casting around at the mo', looking for inspiration and some price scales.

For an easy life a pre-packaged weeks riding in stunning scenery can't be beat. For something more uplifting maybe a weeks solo touring on the DIY would be great but could end up being rather lonely.

Hmmm..

Aye, dodging the chavs on the road down from Sholver - better than Morzine for an adrenaline rush! 😆
