The last time we were all together….

This was taken the weekend we decided to do this trip….perhaps we were all alittle crazy back then, but riding the length of Britain seemed like such a good idea to us three amigos at the time. Now, with just a few days to go, as I lay out all my kit out in the lounge, wondering how it will all fit in my panniers* ( and how I’m going to move my bike when they are on) i am beginning to feel the reality of it all and I’m feeling somewhat nervioso… lets hope that being a bit loco is the key factor to succeeding this ride….!

*Panniers = bike bags “I’m not a geek, just practical…” Isn’t that right Miss Whittle….!

I HEART JOSIE DEW

Well now, this all started a long long time ago, one wintry night wrapped up on the sofa reading a book, but not just any book, a book by Josie Dew. I was submerged into the tales of an intrepid cyclist, who once wished for a horse, got a bike instead, and never looked back.

And now here we are planning our own adventure, the long way up Britain, and I can’t wait to get my wheels rolling on this long and winding road to freedom/exhaustion/and huge bowls of porridge! x

This is me!!!!

This is me cruising the Japanese streets local stylie!!!!
