I happened upon Pedal Britain, a company that offers fully supported tours: moving bags, organizing accommodation, and most crucially, providing food during the day. All I'd have to do was pedal an average of 75 hilly miles a day for 14 consecutive days! How difficult could it be? I signed on in December 2022 for the July 2023 ride, leaving me just over 6 months to get"match fit."
That evening, I, along with the other 15 members of the group, gathered at the Longboat Inn to receive the all-important pre-tour briefing. Darren, the lead guide and owner of the company, went over logistics, daily schedules, and safety, and then finally got to how we were going to fuel ourselves. He was crystal clear that energy bars and sugar gels, consumed on the move, would not work for a prolonged 14-day effort. Rather, we needed to eat food, and often.
Day 1, 6:30 AM. After breakfast, we were transported to the start. Then after the customary picture under the Land's End sign, we were off. The first stop revealed a feast! There was bread, cheese, salami, bananas, nuts, dried fruit, fig rolls, cookies, and jelly babies. Day 2, and a longer ride, at 77 miles. The morning brought us along the hilly and picturesque south coast of England, till we got to The Waterfront restaurant in Plymouth, where we stopped for lunch. Soon after, we return to the beginning of this story, with me on the ground and my shin sliced open.
