Thank you, it is my everyday work horse, used mainly for commuting and I have to say I am delighted with the bag.

i'm sure you are thrilled its a gret set up.
tell me do you do any touring that would be ideal for a credit card tour or even a lightweight tent strapped to top of bag.
just wondering.;)

Not really, I do not do any touring, unless you can call touring my Sunday spins around the county .

Some pics from our tour across Italy last month:
Heading to Departures at Dublin Airport:


Outside Verona, heading to Lake Garda:


Taken at Lazise on Lake Garda:


Passing through a tiny hamlet called Alberra, which we had expected to be a town, turned out to be a solitary pig farm.



Not sure where this was:

feck sake lads

Thanks. We had about 15kg each in panniers. Didn't bring a tent and took our chances each night with accommodation. Managed to find somewhere to stay each night but needed to allow time to look around as a few towns had no hotels or B&Bs once we got off the tourist trail.

Beautiful country, lovely helpful people and great food. But research before you go, even the provincial routes are far too busy and developed for cycling (three lanes, armco barriers, no hard shoulder. But not classed as a motorway so they look safe on a map). We got a really good 1:200,000 map over there after a few days which saved the holiday from an early train to France!

Pic 1 is gorgeous - I can't wait to get there.
Pic 2 is frightening - I am beginning to question the wisdom of this trip.

What time was the pic taken?
Is it appreciably cooler in the morning (say 5am-11am) or evening (5-10pm).
I was at a wedding in Castelnaudary a few years back and it was 40 degrees at 8pm - unbearable. Even the locals were sick of it.

First photo was at 11:00, about 25c just right.

Second one was about 15:00. It still 28c at 22:45. Horrible day.
Usually it is much cooler early in the morning, I think we have a thunder storm on the way, should clear it all up.
