QUICK NOTE TO SAY OUR BIKE TRIP (BACK ROADS THIS TIME) WAS A TERRIFIC KEDGE. PLENTY DIFFICULT IN PLACES, WONDERFUL COUNTRY… WONDERFUL PALS. TEN OF US WERE PALS, THE OTHER 11 WERE RANDOM AND ALL JUST GREAT. THERE IS NO BETTER KEDGE IN THE WORLD THAN A SLIGHTLY SERIOUS BIKE RIDE.

I RECOMMEND CRETE BUT IT AINT EASY. NOT RIDE THE ROCKIES, YOU KNOW, BUT SERIOUS. LONGEST DAY WAS 60 MILES… NEXT WAS 50… AND CRETE IS VERY SPINY. ALSO VERY BEAUTIFUL.

ALSO A CHANCE TO EAT A SOLIDLY MEDITERRANEAN DIET FOR A WEEK. TONS OF GREAT OLIVE OIL (THEY USE MORE THAN ANYONE ON EARTH AND HAVE GREAT HEALTH… PARTLY, I SUSPECT, BECAUSE OF THE HELLISH HILLS THEY LIVE ON). ANYHOW, PRETTY NICE TO HAVE SUPER EXERCISE, INTERESTING, HEALTHY FOOD AND STUNNING VIEWS. GIVE IT A SHOT ONE DAY CHRIS
