Details

I go to Bristol on train tomorrow stay at a mates

Then both of us cycle to Bristol airport carrying all our stuff & soft bike bags

Fly to Geneva

Mail bike bags to Hotel in Nice

Meet up with rest (8 of us – organised by my cousin)

We all carry all our own stuff in rucksacks or handle bar bags (absolute bare minimum of stuff 1 lot of cycling gear, each, we wash it every night – waterproof coat, sun cream, pain killers, base layer, t shirt & shorts)

Everything to save weight – cut hangle off tooth brush use toothpaste for cleaning teeth , sun cream = factor 100 & chamonis cream = bum in mint condition

Each day cycle to destination – booked b&bs – eat our weight in pasta & sweets & get sleep for next day

I will be the one walking like John Wayne when I come back
