I came back yesterday from what is now becoming the early season week long group ride.
This year the tour was named (hijacked) by Alex. The Alex Northern lights tour should
really have been named after me as I was basically guiding everybody up there after last year
trip to Hyder.
Day one and Theo is already tired, here in Telegraph cove.
