I'm so excited about this event! You might remember the Night of Adventure, the legendary charity fundraiser where 12 intrepid explorers had just 6mins 40secs to share their story. Well it's back, as a flight-free version 👉

Horror: I just learned that a company is developing new supersonic aircraft that could be flying passengers before the end of the decade.
Here's my comment on why that's not a good idea 👇
"The emissions from Concorde are still in the atmosphere today, still impacting our climate."

Ha! Guess it is niche knowledge…
My Mensa member boyfriend did the Mensa mag quiz on me and was ASTOUNDED I knew the answers to these two questions (his strength is more numbers and logic, but still…):
Anyone?
What was the name of Jane Austen’s sister and mother?
What happened in Hyde Park in 1851?
(Is this niche knowledge?!)

I once cycled along a stretch of the Meridian Line: www.annacycles.co.uk/post/meridian
One of my favourite types of rides is following a set route or line, especially if it has historical importance. It doesn't have to be far or exotic – the close-to-home adventures can often be the most profound.

My 2025 ‘resolution’ was to read a book a month. I’ve made it (almost) to the end having finished 8 books. 2 days left to speed-read 4 books! 🤪
It was partly to stop me idly scrolling whenever I’m at a loose end, as scrolling is wretched, whereas books take you somewhere else.

Book #8: Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. Stunningly beautiful and a compelling story from the very first page to the haunting conclusion. I intentionally read it slowly because I didn’t want it to end.

I wrote this book to share how amazing (and often overlooked) the UK is, and to show you don’t have to go far away to have an adventure. Good timing for Christmas gifts? (You can buy Eat Sleep Cycle and Pedal Power for £15 here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...)

9 days left on the Interrail pass sale 🍀
Don't miss this! Honestly, this is my NUMBER ONE tip for affordable train travel.
If you've ever looked at the price of Eurostar and thought, no thanks, I'll fly, you NEED interrail. Trainline will tell you a holiday to Europe by train costs £500+. It doesn't! www.interrail.eu/en/interrail...

There's a sale on interrail passes right now: 25% off. This is my best tip for getting a cheap holiday without flying! Last year we went to Como for £260, this year it was Malaga for £365. You could spent that on Eurostar alone!! www.interrail.eu/en/interrail...

This morning’s delightful interaction with a driver: “I hope you die you c***”
I was cycling on this road 👇 He didn’t think I should be there and was absolutely spitting. Why do people get so angry?! (It wasn’t this busy - there were very few cars there at 8.15 this morning)
