From a novice rider to conquering #L2B in under 5hrs, I've pedaled through #pain and challenges to hit 1,000 miles this year. Every mile is a testament to #tenacity. Remember, with perseverance, even the most daunting roads can be conquered. Keep pedaling, keep pushing! ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช #TenacityIsKey #bringingourmissionashore #EDS #jst #ehlersdanlossyndrome โ€“ at East Midlands, England

This afternoon I slept and dreamed it had all slipped away , that we were all ambling to the funeral of life . We were sobbing over Swallows and Small Coppers , crying about Cuckoos and porpoises , choking and gasping about rivers and meadows . And when I woke up . . . the world was on fire

Cycling London to Brighton was a test of endurance and resilience, where #pain was a constant companion. Our limits are not boundaries, but starting points for growth. A harsh reality can be a profound teacher, every pedal stroke teaching us more about ourselves #ZebraStrong #EDS

Today, #mbTheMeadow went to visit @SVTenacious in @VisitCardiffBay, linking in with our topic all about pirates! We had a great time exploring the ship and learning all about how it works, before wandering across the barrage, looking out for other vessels!
