Notts to Monaco Solo :)

After a pre planned oil change, a kindly german couple disposed of the old oil for me, why..........long story and v dull......

Isn't the left pannier only sposed to be filled with cider? Or am I touring incorrectly?
 
By popular demand more pics of my bike lol

Headed off south of Bodensee and hopped into alps, fantastic 70mph sweepers for around 30 miles, time for coffee before proper hills:thumb

So had to do Stelvio again, last time on my SPS 8 years ago and I had a sore arse by time I got there :(

On the summit snow shot I did a job interview on mobile, tech eh gotta love it :)

Oh I might get shot down for this but...............is it me or is the twisty side of Stelvio too twisty ?? I mucch preferred the other side this time, maybe its and age thing ??

So headed through the town or principality of Livigno and had a night in this hotel, recommended, cheap and the barmaid is english and has bangers like a dead heat in a zeppelin race :)

Next morning was overcast so waited an hour or so for it to burn and headed for the tunnel due north of Monaco, one way jobbie and had to wait, sadly the hill top was in cloud thus fekkin freezing and unpleasant, this was pretty much the only bit of poor weather on continent side :thumb2
