About

Ken and I are two Kiwis ( 86 and 88) who for the 12 years before Covid enjoyed a tour of around 3000km in The European summer.   I ride an ebike but Ken is yet to give way to this weakness.  Once Covid was largely over we once more hit the road.  Over  the last years I have had significant orthopaedic surgery which means although I ride a bike normally my walking is badly limited.  With a crutch in one hand and a walking stick in the other I am not too bad. Our son a design engineer has adapted these to make them suitable both for my needs and to be carried on a bike.  It does mean however that our cycletouring is now largely limited to rivers and valleys. We can just dream of the mountains we loved
