60 Acts of Random Kindness

While away Jay and I will try to do a good deed everyday. These will be called Random acts of kindness. This idea come about after watching something similar on youtube. I watched the  enjoyment people got by giving and also I think this will be a great way to connect with people. 

I don’t know how or where this acts will present themselves to us but I know they will be there in some way or form. So I look forward to giving and receiving and of course telling you all about them.

Thank God It’s Friday.

Having been planning this journey now for what seems ant eternity this is now the final Friday that i will be working. 

In one sense i feel a little apprehensive as to what i am about to embark on and in another im feeling an overwhelming sense of freedom!!!!

The final additions to both bikes have been made, the dummy runs with full luggage have been done, the selecting of garments and accessories that we will be needing, first aid kits, tablets, puncture repair kits…..the list is endless yet it has all been fantastic fun…..and the journey hasn’t even started as yet.

We will both miss our girls very very much, but know they support us fully.We love you girls..

Crash course in Camden

Customer service is alive and kicking at Evan cycles Camden, from where  Jason purchased his Dawes Galaxy bike from store manager Barry Godin. Dealing with two complete novices must of tested Barry’s patience and our constant verbal bickering at each other did not make Barry’s job any easier. Barry explained the features and benefits of each bike and presented them in a fashion that made the buying process very simple.
After much verbal banter Jason is now ready to roll with his Dawes Galaxy complete with all the kit needed for three months on the road.
But the customer service did not end there. Barry personally gave myself and Jason a crash course in bicycle repair and maintenance. Passing on his clear knowledge and experience with us long after the stores closing time.
I highly recommend Evans Cycle Store in Camden Town, they have really helped us in our preparation for our long journey ahead.

One Weeks To Go

There is less than one week to go before I start my cycle journey around North West Europe and to say I am excited is an understatement. 

What started off as a dream is now a reality. The months of planning will soon end and all that is left is the doing. No more “if only”.

Adventure is calling….

   

  

One Becomes Two

I am happy to announce that one has now become two. Joining me on this adventure is Jason.
Jason enjoys keeping fit, is looking forward to this adventure and challenge of riding around Europe on a bike.
On a personal note I am really happy that Jason is coming along on which I am sure will be a trip of a lifetime. More about Jason and his bike later…
