My Warmshowers guest George age 18 who I hosted back in January has just made 100 days on the road, he's now cycling through Turkey and he has 5530 miles/8900km on the clock, he's doing so well, I'm really impressed, I wish him continued safe travels on his journey home to New Zealand 🇳🇿🚴🌏💪

A bike overnight to Margate that we did in early May 2026, I've only just got around to sharing these pictures. I had unplanned oral surgery a few days before so we did a very slow ride there and back the shorter route - 65 miles 🚴🚴‍♀️🏖️🐟🍟🍰🍻🍹

I also enjoy the fact that this bike was my Dad's, he gave it to me when he could no longer ride it due to illness, and so I think of him every time I use it

For those of you that love a good cycle touring book - I recently read this book about Paul and Terry's Transam Tour, as we've ridden this route I found it very relatable. Its a fantastic read, I highly recommend it! 🚴‍♂️ 🚴‍♂️ 🇺🇸

The TransAmerica Trail is the coast to coast bicycle route the US loved first. Opened in 1976 to celebrate the country's Bicentennial, by any account it's epic. Spanning 4,264 miles, it connects Virginia on the Atlantic coast to Oregon on the Pacific. On the way it traverses ten states, cro...
