Cheers to all those who made the effort to come and say goodbye in the lead-up to Sunday, also thanks a stack to all the emails of encouragement I've been receiving.

Sunday was pretty stressful, at 2 o'clock I was still greasing up my bike, but I managed to be off by 3:30.

I spent the night with Rick in Maidstone before heading off for Paris first thing Monday.

The trip into Paris, although cold, was pretty uneventful and by 3:30, Roni (my bike) was safely strapped on to the autotrain bound for Marseilles and having found Laura, the 2 of us were able to have a few relaxing beers before heading off to Marseilles ourselves.

Today has been a lovely sunny day and we have spent it cruising from beach to beach.

Tomorrow I will put on my knobblies and do last minute adjustments to the bike.

Ferry on Thursday arvo.
