Sheila's Wheels

OK people... its that time of year again when I go off and do a mad cycle ride somewhere strange... this year it's a bit different. Ever since I heard of this event, I have been waiting for it to come around so that I could "Just Do It". London-Edinburgh-London 2017. As it's not a Tour but an Ultra Cycle Event....I wont have time to stop and blog as I usually do as time is very important. However I have a cunning plan. I have asked Charlie to help me out here and to blog for me. So here goes

Land of the little people

I woke this morning to torrential rain. Not the sort you would want to cycle in. However I had a strong feeling that I wanted to get out of the campsite as another night would have been a killer.

So I began to pack up my tent from the inside out. I am driven by the promise of a cave of little people and the land of elves. Why stay it's just a bit of water right? Ok a lot of water!

Tent packed inside so all I have to do is get out and pack the actual tent. I'm clad in total water riding gear (thank you Sarah, the leg warmers are amazing :-) ). I poke my head out of the door and the rain stops. I kid you not! It just stops.

A quick thanks to the Universe and off I go, fastest tent pack in history.

Just stopped for breakfast.... Hope to bring you the little people later.
