Last night there was such banter about “keeping together” as a group all day especially Stuart explaining the benefits of this to Richard R. The topic was discussed not once but several times and ended up with a photo being taken at dinner whether we could keep together all day. We haven’t discussed the definition of […]
Sunday 11 October – Day 2 – Sea of Galilee to Kfar Yechezkel
One thing I want to add to yesterday was a discussion about food, what else? We asked Assaf if we should eat at the kibbutz or in a nearby restaurant. He just shrugged, leaving the decision to us. We wanted some more information on the kibbutz restaurant and asked what the food was like there. […]
Saturday 10 October 2015 – Day 1 – Metula to the Sea of Galilee – The Far North
Firstly and thankfully I did sleep well and feel a lot better today. My prayer in the note I left in the wall must have been heard!! Here I sit at the end of our first day cycling on the Veranda of our very nice kibbutz hotel overlooking the southern shores of Lake Tiberius. Lake […]
Friday 9 October – Travel Day and Friday Night at The Western Wall
So here we go again. Lads adventure number 4, 3rd bike ride. Months of training over, excited and apprehensive but really looking forward to the whole thing. The alarm went of at some ridiculous time of 3.45 this morning and after I struggled out of bed and started to get ready, actually felt quite excited […]

Day 4 – Arrived in Paris -Saturday 21 June 2014
We have arrived in Paris!!! Amazingly the day passed without major incident, although it started in usual comical fashion with Stuart going the wrong way out of the hotel car park! We cycled in glorious weather through lovely open countryside but the last 20 or so miles were through the suburbs and into Central Paris. […]
Day 4 – Paris here we come – last leg (or is that last legs!!!) Saturday 21 June 2014
Just a quick pic of us before we started our ride in the morning. More later
Day 3 – More of the same Friday 20 June 2014
Dear blog fans. We are now in Beauvais , about 55 miles from Paris. It was another eventful day! Despite all the mishaps, mainly due to going on the wrong route, we are having a laugh, being challenged and enjoying it. It’s a shame there is only 1 day left. I suppose the highlight of […]
Day 2 – A Good One Thursday 19 June 2014
At the moment we are 1-0 down in the game against Uruguay. I’m losing interest in the game and so thought I would fill you in with today’s details. Thankfully today was superb even though I only got about 5 hours sleep! A nice breakfast and coffee was a good set up for the morning and the weather […]
