My friends, Puglian Basil & Liz have written about my trip on their new blog;

We are preparing for the beginning of a tremendous journey by our good friend Andrew Sykes, who is about to set off on the bike ride of a life time – cycling from Reading, Berkshire to Brindisi, Puglia. Two years of preparation will be put to the test, starting with farewell drinks on Saturday and the grand departure on Sunday. All being well, we will welcome Andrew on the last leg of his Homeric journey, towards the end of August. The Prosecco is already in the fridge….

Homeric is defined as “of epic proportions”. 🙂

Basil & Liz, by the way, rent out their property – see their website at euronaissance.com .
