we were always going to be 2 groups, meeting up on a night , and we did for the first 3 campsites.
then people wanted different things ( maximus wanted to warm up so split from me and chris and went to como) then me and chris went to como and met up.
cats had a really bad leg and needed a day out , whilst me and Chris were keen to ride some goat tracks (and boy did we find some) .
whilst we were in similar areas we didn't actually cross paths again.
so it ended up me and chris one team and cats , big dave , maximus another and saga and manx in a third.
we all seemed to get what we wanted from the trip so it worked well

My leg hindered me, then dropped the Bike on my good leg
Marks correct we all found our own groups which worked well
Lake Como was a blast and getting slaughtered was great
It was a good tour and thankful we all got home. Learnt and understood others
Bluetooth with Maximus was great. My Friend
