Setting off, me, Matt (Jesus) and Tone.
Tone had suggested we take in a winter rally overseas as our usual rally was cancelled.

Lucerne is a beautiful city, but very expensive!

Slight detour to Arnhem for lunch, then off to the nightmare that is Rotterdam for the ferry home.

All in all, my first bike ride on my 'new' GS, I have to say, I made the right choice!
