It was #WorldSuicidePreventionDay2025 on Wednesday and I was thinking about Tim all day. If he were still here, Tim would surely have posted something honest and inspiring. I wanted to do the same but it's not so easy when your friend has gone. So instead here's just a lovely memory.

Thanks for asking. Iβm ok, but possibly because I gave myself the week off! Not back at work til next week so I can ease back into real life.
The anti-climax wasnβt bad for me because Iβve cycled LEJOG before so I wasnβt so focused on the destination. The end was still sad though (of course).

...but it canβt last forever. The highs are always followed by a low, and if even the three of us feel down having finished our ride, it would have been especially so for Tim. Each time he went back to the day-to-day he would struggle. I wonder if, in the end, even the cycle tours werenβt enough."

Reflections on the ride:
"Itβs hard coming off an adventure. For so long youβve had a purpose, and when that purpose is over, itβs easy to think, now what? I wonder if thatβs what overwhelmed Tim in the end: his adventures were his therapy... timcyclesthecoast.com/2025/08/24/d...

Weβve been craving a Sunday roast for the past three weeks, so now Iβm back home here it is. And in honour of Tim thereβs a full roast garlic bulb in there π§
(This is what vegans eat for Sunday roast: all the trimmings, plus a carrot and cashew nut roast)
