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. :)

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
