London to Brighton. Hardest 54 miles I've ever done. Half way through I started thinking I had Covid (I don't). Ditchling Beacon is a monster. Beer never tasted so good on Brighton Beach and no it wasn't a Neck Oil (my chain came off).

Silly idea for making the UK a better place to live. If a train station has a cafe and the trains are still running, that cafe should stay open. God knows - they might even sell some coffee.

I love about eBooks. You can learn about a title one minute and be reading it the next (on your phone). I also love that you can download sample chapters and try before you buy. If you love #Cycling or plan to visit #Portugal this Summer, check out my book: Follow The Blue Line: Cycling The Algarve.
