Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I have discovered an amazing biking holiday in Northern Italy. It caters for all abilities, provides a really personal service with airport transfers etc all in. It's run by an English guy who has lived out there for several years and therefore really knows the areas. If you, like me, are looking for something a bit different for holiday next year then check out www.lessiniabiketour.com

They were fab and I will certainly be thinking seriously about going next year.

Cheers,

ED resident

Actually no. As I said, I am an ED resident and it is run by a bloke who lives in Italy! As a first time user I just thought I would pass on the fact that I had found a really good holiday that I thought other local residents might be interested in.

Thanks for the welcome to the forum!

Sounds lovely...


However, most legit new members don't make a random recommendation as their first post; that's more the area of those being paid to promote links. But I'll reserve judgement until we see how long you hang around for and what else you contribute that's more local in flavour.

Wow, didn't realise I was going to get quite that reaction! Having thoroughly enjoyed the weeks cycling near Soave I got chatting to the owner over lunch who said he had been struggling to get the word out in England. Having passed it around to friends and family I perhaps naively thought that I would spread the word around my neighbours too using this forum. This is my first thread, but have used the ED forum many times for recommendations for GPs and local trades. Having lived and worked quite happily in ED since the late 90's I would hate to think that I've started offending people now!!


Louisiana-I'm a road cyclist, I went with a friend who prefers mud and hills, we were both well catered for and now have rock solid thighs!!

Not sure I am quite in your league - Cuba sounds a little scary to me! Perhaps I am a little ambitious calling myself a road cyclist - I have just made it past the 'getting to the top of Dog Kennel Hill' stage. But there were some serious cyclists there going on some serious climbs. I tended to stick to the flatter and altogether less daunting routes, enjoying the coffee, pasta, wine and return transfers to the hotel each day! I have to say that I didnt go on one of the more challenging 2000m climbs that were on offer, but stuck to the charming scenic, much flatter routes around lake Garda.

There's a fantastic bike route in Bali from the top of Mount Agung. It's downhill for about 40 miles. :))


Incidentally, when I were a yoof I used to stare goggle eyed into Thomson's travel agents at the idyllic jungle paradise and smiling 'natives' that Bali apparently delivered with abundance.


It doesn't, it's the Ozzie equivalent of Playa de las Americas. If they don't have a Linekers, they should have.

That's like the opposite of the 25 miles uphill from Cork city going west. With three weeks of luggage etc. I speak from experience. Passing motorists were lovely though - offering endless lifts on what they considered an impossible journey. :)

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
