Well he made it through Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland and France and arrived at Tower Bridge last Friday (07/06/13) Chapeau Dancing Bear.
Yeah I'm a bit jealous if I’m honest even with the agony he describes, still it should get him ready for the alps.
Proper cycle journey indeed, looks like some great climbs.
Well he is through Turkey, Greece and nearly through Albania and has even managed to be listed on The Guardian website during their ‘Giro’ chat. He is a bit pissed off that he has done all those miles and only lost 1lb but it has not stopped him dancing.
