Throwback Thursday – Cycling Coast 2 Coast In A Day
Cycling the Coast 2 Coast In One Day – August 2014 Last week I posted on my old blog, Cadi2014, explaining why I had started this one. The two blogs are very different but they do cross over. The reason I started Cadi2014 was because I was grieving for a partner I lost to suicide….
