With Hannah and Arran, we took a taste of one day of Tommy Godwin's World Record: cycling 75,065 miles in a year (in 1939!) at an average of 205 miles per day. We cycled from Nottingham to Beverly, passing over the Humber Bridge, and arrived home to Arran and Gill's with a Barbeque.

A training ride out with Hannah and Jonathon. I remember this being a nice day out, and that we visited a vegetarian cafe in the peak district. I had no idea where it was, until the year after when we visited the Peak district and stumbled across this same cafe! The cafe was at Caudwell’s Mill at Rowsley, which was also very interesting to visit.
