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.

My first Audax (of quite a few) and my first 300km! Again, I was talked into this by Arran. It's clear I had caught the ultra-long distance bug by now.

One week before my attempt at cycling Coast-to-Coast in a day, I look my first longish-distance solo trip. This ride was also the first time I ever knowingly attempted Crich, and I learnt how to keep going without a break.
