Bart is great value for money and excellent company if anything mechanically goes wrong. Only recently made his acquaintance and am all the richer for it.
Dan has a wicked humour and a fountain of knowledge on almost anything. Competent on anything 2 wheeled.
Marc, smous of note. Man of international mystery.
I rate your route as one of the finest. And time of year is perfect. Middle summer is a lot less pleasant.
