Chiz Dakin's cycle touring adventures began when she realised, after a local photography trip, that she'd cycled 50 miles in a day with a reasonably heavy load. Two weeks later she set out on the LEJOG route! Since then she's done several multi-day routes but maintains that you don't need to be seriously fit or fast to fully enjoy cycling.
