Cycle Your Heart Out & Let go in Hackney! Heart-Route 49

Heart-route 49 is all about letting go, and finding joy again. Letting go of someone, whilst also letting go and moving your body to the rhythm of your own soul.

I decided to celebrate Cycle Your Heart Out's 12th Birthday in London, after dancing my heart out with Ecstatic Dance UK at the Hackney Wick Sauna Baths...

Heart Route 41 in Loughton, The Reunion

The Reunion
​

Scrabble 
Night Time
Golden milk by my side
Loved ones competing to win 
Reminiscing, laughing 
Silence outside 
Just the odd passing car
Content, cosy, happy
Surrounded by family
Soaked in love
Follow your heart: 
A heart route to celebrate my long awaited family reunion! 

Location:
Loughton, a cute ancient village in Milton Keynes England, and the city where I first gave birth to Cycle Your Heart Out over a decade ago! It's  also one of my favourite areas in the city to find some peace and walk the dog.

Heart Route:
It was thanks to my amazing sister's that we managed to come up with this short but beautiful 4.78km ride in Loughton! The route is also part of the 12km Millennium cycle route around Milton Keynes, a quiet picturesque ride that takes you past the river Ouzel, the Grand Union Canal, ancient villages and the famous concrete cows!

Cycle Your Heart Out:
Meet my mum, she hadn't rode a bike in ages, and had pretty much lost all confidence. She would stop and walk the bike to cross a small road, avoid adjusting the seat to the correct height in case she fell off, and rode the same speed as someone walking. 

But little by little with the help of me and my sister, her confidence bloomed as we rode along peaceful paths, canals and lakes. No rush, nowhere to be, just us and our bikes. We stopped to pick freshly fallen plums, pick juicy blackberries, and to simply admire the horses. The more we rode, the more her fear faded and her smile grew! We celebrated our ride with some delicious Victoria sponge cake and tea at the Grumpy Cook.  

If you have someone you love who is a little hesitant to get back on their bike, here are 2 tips from my mum that helped her get over her fear of cycling:

1. Walk and cycle... Like when you start running, you walk/jog/build up a few mins at a time... 
2. Avoid cycling on hills or in bad weather until more confident 

Spread the love:
To help spread the love around Milton Keynes I gifted a copy of my new book to the wonderful Alchemise Yoga Studio in Newport Pagnell.  Ran by the lovely Wendy, it was thanks to her amazing classes that I first fell in love with yoga over a decade ago. Thanks Nicole for reading my poems in your relaxing cello classes.  
"Building community, bringing art from the heart, a perfect offering.
​
Thank you so much for bringing your wonderful poetry into the world and sharing your book with us!"

Heart Route 30 in Brighton - The Route to friendship

​The Route to Friendship 

Sometimes in life you’ll visit somewhere and fall in love
Destined to return
That place for me was Brighton
It stole my heart not once, but twice
Recently made fuller
Thanks to the beauty of 
Friendship

Sometimes it’s weeks 
Months
Years
Time passes and not a word exchanged between you

Yet put together in the same room
The stories
The memories
Retold as if they’d occurred last year

Jobs, partners, cities, may have all changed
But some friendships remain the same
Unable to budge for anyone
Not even time
Follow your heart

I dedicate this heart route to my friends Jimmy & Kieron, and their wedding coming soon!
It was also an amazing opportunity to be able to reunite again with old friends, and dance our hearts out to Britney Spears at Gay pride!! 

Cycle your heart out... the route to friendship

Location
Brighton, England

I first fell in love with this city about 7 years ago after visiting a friend. The minute I left the train station it was as if I'd arrived home. The warmness of the people, the charm of the North Laines, the endless choice of veggie restaurants, and then of course the cycling! Riding along the coast, the scent of fish and chips in the air, and views of scattered of deck chairs. Coming back here after so long, all those feelings remained. 

Heart route
4.73km route

Cycle your heart out

Highlights:
Bike rental: Brighton Beach Bikes
Brighton Palace Pier
Brighton West Pier
Brighton Beach
Royal Pavilion
North Laine Bazaar
The White Rabbit pub
Iydea Vegetarian Kitchen

Thanks so much to Mark and Mel at Brighton Beach Bikes for advising me on how hilly Brighton is, and helping me create my heart route!

My amazing friends, for making a ton of new beautiful memories together!

Cycle Your Heart Out in Cambridge - Route 24


The Screenshot

It started a few years ago
A screenshot to capture the special moment
I've lost count now, it's become the norm
And it's only sunk in recently

The realisation that I’ll never be able to take a
last-minute coffee
Pop over for dinner
Or enjoy a long comforting hug
The realisation that our future children will never
grow up playing together

Multiple countries, all spread out around the world
I’ve slowly had to accept the fact that my family
may never agree on one country to settle

However, with acceptance comes comfort
Maybe we all have different destinies
Life has a unique plan for us all

So here I am, on my way to make my Cambridge heart route
My mum and sister by my side
Their faces not on a phone, but right here, next to me

What I once took for granted, I now cherish with every inch of my being
To be with them, and not through a screen, is the best birthday gift 

No longer a screenshot
But here side by side
Follow your heart
This July I was grateful to finally celebrate my birthday again with my beautiful mum and sister, and I knew exactly how I wanted us to spend it!

Location
Cambridge, England

Bike hire: Rutland Cycling and Cambridge Bike Tours

Heart route

We arrived in Cambridge with the rain to greet us, so decided to take shelter and relax at the cosy  
Senate bistro and bar. After sipping our coffees and gazing at the map for several minutes, a heart shaped route slowly began to appear!

Cycle your heart out

Highlights:

Inner Space 
Kings College
River Cam

Trinity College
The Anchor Pub    
Jesus Green
Midsummer common

Grateful to my beautiful mum and sister for giving me a birthday I'll never forget!

Cycle your heart out this Valentines!

​Heart route
A nice and easy 3.56 mile ride for all the family, riding around Willen Lake and Campbell Park

Cycle Your Heart Out
Over 30 cyclists joined in to cycle their hearts out with loved ones, and make use of the fantastic bike paths that Milton Keynes has to offer! The amazing
