So my friend Ben Vickers is over from Australia he runs The MMA Clinic in Perth. And at present he is staying in Denia which is just south of Valencia.
I have been an idiot not to visit earlier. But my head has been occupied with my frame. But today it arrived and I am getting the parts transferred tomorrow. The perfect opportunity for me to visit Ben. Cutting down my time available be 1.
The situation is, I have about 40 days to get to Skyros in Greece and about 2850 Kms to cover in total.
You can do the math.
The dilemma is.
Choice 1.
I can ride hard get to Florence (about 1590kms) cruise the Tuscany Way, cruise The Appia Way, then ride on to Greece
Choice 2.
Take a boat to Savona just west of Genoa cutting out about 1121 Kms. Then ride up Florence…. Tuscany…. Appia……. Greece
Choice 3
Take a bus to Genoa, cutting out about 1170 Kms. Ride to Florence………
A Couple of Days Ride Outta....... 
You missed choice 4 – come back to blighty, get a fucking job (like the rest of us) and hope to save up enough and have time to be considering the options of how to travel to see a mate in Valencia. Make you own mind up, obviously in your own infinite time you have on offer and stop rubbing every fuckers nose in your ability to do what you want when you bloody want to. That aside, I hope you have an amazing trip whichever choice you decide to take and please do say hello to your friend from all of us under privalidged back in the uk! 😁

Then you have to factor in the extreme weather, it’s being touted as a killer, not suitable for elderly cyclists trying to circumnavigate Europe on a deadline!!!
