РусскийToday was the first day we allowed ourselves sleep: the whole 6 hours of sleep in the ceremonial county of Hampshire – we are in Portsmouth.
We went outside, happy, and sincerely welcomed the rain – in just half an hour it won’t bother us anymore during our trip. We were on the our way to the office of Wiggle online shop to get our equipment.

What dreams may come
Yesterday we have had a Goodbye Party, where we gave hugs to our friends, ate a bicycle cake, gave and received presents and rode Bromptons.
Our friends asked us to fill this blog with some stories not only about interesting places and events, but also the emotional side of the trip.

This is a short summary of our yesterday’s speech about where ideas come from and what dreams may come!

A warm summer night, on one hand – a curvy cycling track, on the other – a long gallery of pubs, in the middle – lots of smiling people, on the track – bicycles of all kinds… Sounds like a perfect cycling event!
London Nocturne is definately the one! A yearly bicycle race, taking place in the very heart of London, gathers hundreds of participants and thousands of spectators. Cyclists of all kinds ride around the Smithfield Market. The event is free, but I got the “Media” pass, thanks to which you can enjoy pictures from backstage!
