That’s a great story Kenneth. My Dad was also a keen cyclist, took me on a cycle sidecar around the then mostly unmade roads of the far north of Scotland (where my Mum was from) when I was less than 2 years old. But gave me the cycling bug long before he passed away.

kenneth armstrong It's funny how my Dad who I loved dearly his passing became a positive rather than negative thanks for sharing your story 😊

Glad you enjoyed it! I did the BHF London to Brighton ride twice, way back in the 1980s. I did it with a group of friends, none of us were regular cyclists at the time, and we did it with minimal preparation. Ditchling Beacon (the final hill into Brighton) totally defeated us! I walked about half of it, though to be fair the "5-speed racing bike" that I'd borrowed for the day wasn't really the best choice for that hill! We all thoroughly enjoyed the day though. Now, fast-forward almost 40 years, and after taking up cycling when the Covid lockdowns started, Brighton was on my 'to-do' list. But memories of Ditchling Beacon meant I kept putting-off the idea. Finally in July last year I set out to do the round-trip. It was my second ever 100-mile ride, and Ditchling Beacon was much easier than I'd feared with a) a more suitable bike, and b) a better level of fitness!

I was out on a nice pedal this morning. The sun was starting to ride and the sky was a beautiful orange. Everything was calm and perfect. I thought back to when I was a child and realised, cycling ... read more
