| Eileen Sheridan in 1954 |
I was nervous to meet Eileen Sheridan. Not
because she is a cycling icon; having set all kinds of records, most notably in
1954 when she cycled from Land’s End to John o’Groats in two days, 11 hours and
seven minutes. Not because I spent a freezing February day riding around in
vintage cycling gear on a replica of the Hercules bike she rode pretending
to be her for a documentary. I was nervous because I knew after meeting her I would want
to cycle from Land’s End to John o’ Groats.
