He accidentally RAN to WINDSOR (so I cycled it!)
In the cult British TV comedy Peep Show, there's an episode where the character Super Hans - a chaotic schemester with a taste for drugs and boozing - accidentally runs to Windsor.
As luck would have it, the distance between the block of flats in Croydon where Peep Show was set and the centre of Windsor is almost exactly 26 miles - aka the distance of a marathon - and so an idea was born.
On a Saturday in mid-October, around 200 Peep Show fans - many in fancy dress and pun-adorned t-shirts - gathered at Zodiac Court in Croydon to set off on the first ever Peep Show marathon, organised by Dobby Club.
Among the runners was my best mate David. While I'm not sadistic enough to run 26 miles, I thought I'd jump on my bike and cycle it, to support / berate him along the way.

Bikepacking Bliss: Norfolk, The Long Way Round
มุมมอง 2.3K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
On the east coast of England, around 100 miles north east of London, is the historic county of Norfolk. Famous for its flat terrain and its stunning countryside, as well as its historic cities and seaside towns, it's an ideal destination for hiking and bikepacking. And, with its miles of disused train lines now converted to walking and cycling paths, it's a particularly appealing option for tho...
