Sally's Journey - Cycling and my love of Spain



I have cycled on and off throughout my life, taking it as a serious hobby when I needed a new interest about twelve years ago. I initially cycled with a London based group, cycling regularly on a Sunday, enjoying the challenge of becoming fitter and more proficient in my new hobby. I quickly learnt that there were lots of challenges for the cyclist who was ready to push themselves. The first  to take my interest was to cycle Lands’ End to John o Groats (LEJOG) 2012, quickly followed by cycling coast to coast USA 2013.

After these two long tours I decided I wanted to focus a little more on on days rides. So I joined a new club (Richmond Park Rouleurs). This led me to enter number of sportive events, (timed day rides) of various distances, many of these abroad, fulfilling my other great passion, travel. Two of my longest rides of this type have been the Mallorca 312 (312 kilometres in fourteen hours) and Chase the Sun (207 miles ridden from sunrise to sunset), going back for second time round with both.

However my love of touring had not left me, resulting in a second USA coast to coast and end to end New Zealand in 2017.  My most recent escapade has been a tour or Spain (2022), cycling from Santander to Vélez Blanco, taking in Segovia, Salamanca and Toledo. A real Spanish adventure!!


My love of cycling and Spain prompted me to set up 'La Casa de Sally', my home in Spain that offers the opportunity for others to cycle in the Spanish countryside and discover the real Spain.
