Finished the End to End cycle 9 years ago!

Today 9 years ago, was the last day of End to End cycle! Even to this day, still can’t believe I did it! Try cycling for an average of 66 miles, every day for 15 days in a row and still how you feel! The total distance was 990.30 miles! Which took me 85 hours 22 minutes 40 seconds!

Still really, hoping that I will get to do it again, at some point…

Wee look back, to my very first time in London!

Here are some photos from the very first time, I went to London! Way back in November 2002 with my boyfriend of the time… Just to think, I was only 21 or 22 at the time! Like another, life time ago!

Of course, I’ve been back, many, many times since!

Fun cycling down public bridleways

It’s always fun Fun cycling down public bridleways, since you are never 100% sure where you will end up! Which I found out today, ended up in some woods, that I’ve been into many miles before, but never from direction.

So once in the woods, I was no idea where I was… But lucky I have full OS maps downloaded to my phone, so when with out a mobile network, I can still see where I am…
