Getting news of Oakley and Pagliaro averaging 17+mph in the wind - I am happy with 16+ at the moment. maybe I am on the wrong diet?

Off this weekend to a Sportive in Surey - 60 miles back and forth over the North and South Downs - should be a leg stretcher.

Also off in a week or so to Spain for a week with Jules - should be able to get 400 odd miles in during the week and this will really launch the Spring offensive on the training.

I hear stories too of Howie trawling the back roads of West Bedfordshire at regular intervals - really is getting quite keen.

Hello.
Well into 2007 training, barring the odd alcoholic slip.
Busy year with the Lands end trip and following on with the Etape in the Pyrennees in July.
This is a test blog entry - I will keep training and other matters up to date if this works.

Just Beginning

Hi All,

Just thought I'd set up a blog for the charity bike ride from Lands End to John O'Groats.

This is going to be quite exciting and hopefully raise quite a lot of money for several charities.

Several riders are going to undertake the 850 mile journey and hopefully all will make it to the destination in May. We will keep you updated on their preparations before the event and even give out the itineraries so if you feel like going out and supporting them in person during the event you can!

We will be following this up with profiles of each of the riders and maybe even a list of the equipment they plan to use.

We will also give you links to websites where you can add your financial support to the charities involved and also (if I can make it work) link to a map where you can follow their progress

Come back later for more news
