Ok, I've got the last week of March booked off at work to use up my last few hours of annual leave.
I'd really like to do something a little different.... Today the Sunday Times are offering flights
to Rio for £349...Now then, if I could take my bike down and rough it for a week, hammock in trees
etc., I reckon that'd be pretty different ! Question is, road bike or MTB ?....would it cost more
getting the bike down there than my ticket price ?. I think I'd prefer to ride out of town, rather
than around Rio itself. I'm sure it's awesome, amazing and all those other wonderful descriptive
words, but it's also full of people (6 million +) and I'd like to take the opportunity to get away
from it all for a few days...... Anyways, any of you loons out there up for a bit of a cycling
experience with a difference ? I'm a reliable, mature, happily married, responsible father of three,
etcetc.... Cheers, Dave.
p.s. Respond via ng and we can swap e-mail addrs at later date (if anyone's upto the
challenge ;-).
p.p.s. If this is a no-goer, then I may get myself up to north of Inverness and just ride around in
the wilderness for a while ;-)
