@TTBB65 #Tonto #Travels #Bike n #Boat
The 'Whitchurch Bikers' gave me the nickname 'Tonto' because I ride an 'Indian' motorcycle and they couldn't pronounce my real name - Gerwyn
My 2 passions are riding bikes and sailing boats, hence the channel name 'Tonto Travels Bike n Boat'
The aim of this channel is to share my bike rides - usually the scenic roads in Wales but, also trips in Europe and
Sailing adventures - racing yachts in the Bristol Channel and cruising to scenic anchorages and marinas.
