So that was that. It's all over. I hope everyone had a good trip.
It was tricky at times with so many people and a few issues with money and routes but I think overall it was a success. Nice scenery, sunshine, great food, lots of laughs and some good riding once we got the hang of the dodgy maps and roads to nowhere. We enjoyed oursleves anyway.
Big thanks to Becks for sorting out the transfers and help with cooking, to Miles, Charlie, Mike and others for planning routes, Bobby and Jerry for the barbeque and to everyone else for making it a great trip. Also thanks so much for the cycle shirt, its ace and I cant wait for a sunny day to wear it.
I've set up a group on flickr for all the photos: www.flickr.com/groups/lucca-trip-2009/
Any good wheelers ones can also go in the wheelers group: www.flickr.com/groups/manchester-wheelers/
There were a few tools and energy bars left over so if you want to claim them let me know.
Otherwise, I think thats it until next year. Look forward to seeing all the photos.
