Beautiful photos PieEater. Er, well, mostly. I'm sure they'll give you much pleasure when you browse through them at an idle moment
Glad you enjoyed it, but you don't need the company for that, although that
can be a bonus
. Just a good bike, which you have of course, and good weather. We looked at mostly A road stuff yesterday, but if you ever get the chance to go back, have a look at some of the smaller mountain roads too. A different kind of riding, and the scenery is even better. You can easily spend a week or two exploring the area, and still want to go back for more. Let me know if you do decide to go again, and I can recommend many more routes
