When we first 'went public' with the cycling plan to friends it felt like a risky thing to tell people - Nick has completed long cycle journeys before, but I had not. No-one likes to fail at something, and so having completed 1000km gives me hope that maybe there is a possibility that I can complete.
This week there have been gale force winds and quite a lot of rain - dealing with each day as it comes has been the way to keep up motivation and actually, although I am always delighted and relieved to arrive at the B&B of the day, the cycling has not been as difficult as it was in my imagination.
