When I was a teenager I lost 3 mates on bikes but accepted that was what happened when you're a kid and take risks. A couple of years ago an absolutely lovely mate was killed having spent over 40 years riding and racing bikes and through absolutely no fault of his own.
Have a great time, but...
Having done two ski holidays this year my knees are now absolutely f***ed. I'll need to rest them on a couple of Mediterranean beaches in the next few months, and some weekends or midweek breaks at UK hotels putting a few miles on my mid life crisis. I have very simple tastes :wink:
