It's nice to able to finish work at 17:00. Get home, have tea, and still get at
least a four hour ride in.

Well two hours in reality, with two hours sat outside a bar :)

Yes indeed.  I'm off to Switzerland for a week tomorrow two up on the ST.  
Five bikes and nine of us.

150 miles from South Wales to catch the Portsmouth ferry at 08:30.  Then five
and a half hours on the ferry to Le havre.  Then a very easy 140 miles down to
a hotel just south of Paris. Stop, eat and drink a little bit and sleep, then
on down to out Chalet in Switzerland.
