Special thanks to Lucy & Shep for wonderful hospitality in Antibes.

Thanks also to Pete & Fi for buying me a lovely meal after a particularly torturous day in the saddle!

Additional thanks to Caroline, Ben & Klair, Firestarter Jim, J&J, Matt S, Matt C, Bri and many others.

And last but not least, thanks to my dad who accompanied me for a few days of the ride - and ended up doing around 300 miles on his own trip. Not bad for a 73 yr old! (He's the orange caped-crusader in one of the photos)

Best wishes,

Phil.
