WOW! On this day back in 2009! I became single and have been ever since! I remember the date well. Since at time, I was doing the End to End cycle. Looking back at it. Don’t really need/want another boyfriend… I like the fact, I do what, I want, when I want! Not having someone else holding me back!
Happy days! At long, long last done my second 30+ mile of 2025! Even better than that, I went the cycle with a mate!
Hoping to meet up again in next number of weeks and aim for 40 miles the next time!!
