I think part of it is football/sport overload. It's been 3 or 4 years since I cancelled all sport subscription TV channels, I have my Fulham season ticket, attend home games plus 4 or 5 away games, then a few women's home games a year and that is enough, there are other things to enjoy in life.

Nice one.

Lady Porter looks fabulous & kudos to you for any part of that.... (getting in to dodgy terorty)
I have followed you on Twitter, Threads & saw today you are coming alive here on Blue Sky so after ~2 posts in a year I should wake up & get involved.

Hi, I hope you are well.

Danke. nice one.

Europe is amazing there are ~30 countries all individual, in culture, language, food, scenery etc. I am Irish living in London & mainland Europe puts us to shame in that they all have 2 or 3 languages, I/we have 1. That said UK & Ireland has great scenery too. If funds are limited camping is the way

I love it, but a couple of annoyances. The fat front tyre is poor on bends, it can step out too much, the rear suspension is very poor for anyone over 80Kg's which I am well over, so it bottoms out all the time for me, really annoying. I am half reluctant to upgrade it thinking it will be too hard.

This one was Furka, Stelvio is awesome too, (though I only took a few photos on Stelvio and they had too much sun glare)

Its on the to do list, have not had the bike in Spain yet, maybe next summer.

Spot on, I had come up, been to the glacier and come on another bit at this point.

thanks, my only criticism is rear suspension bottoms out too much, but I am well above the ideal 75KG weight for it. I have thought about changing it, but not done so yet.
