England 2016 (2)

When I lived in London my commute consisted of a cycle ride and a train trip (sometimes I would cycle all the way, but that was well over one hour cycling). And the cycle ride would often lead me through Richmond Park. The park is quite big, at least much bigger than I had expected…

Cornwall 2018

To get here I took the sleeper train from London to Penzance and then started cycling out south towards Lands End. A tiny road heading towards the coast got my interest and led to this very quiet and wonderful beach. Even though that meant another hill (and there were loads to come, but I didn’t…
