'It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door,' he used to say. 'You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.'

The first chapter


It's bloody heavy. We were somewhat unprepared for the weight of the bike, trailer, each other and all our stuff as we pedalled round the corner to the pub for the send off. Thanks to all who came to wave us off, especially those who joined us for the ride out of Norwich.

Three days and 230km in, we are much more confident: Luke has learned to steer, and Soph is learning to trust him.

Amongst other things we have so far experienced a dodgy campsite, a smooth ferry crossing, lots of friendly people and an amazing ride up the coast from the Hook of Holland on the North Sea cycle route. We are now luxuriously installed in Amsterdam at Eva's place.
