This is all down to having the Quarrymans trail virtually outside my house. If it wasn’t for the trail I wouldn’t do this. It feels pretty good to have submitted to the Share an Idea project so many years ago and now see it all come to fruition.

Much easier to relax your mind when you don’t have to look out for crazy drivers indeed.
When I cycle long distances (while touring for instance), I find I manage to almost reach a meditative state where I hardly think of anything at all! I wish I could reach that state more often while riding in the city too.
