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

Why did we have to settle on a date of mid May! Training in Jan/Feb in the wet, cold and wind certainly makes you question the wisdom of deciding to do such a challenge. September would have been much kinder on the fingers and toes etc!
Our route is around the 970 mile mark with a journey time of 8.5 days. The fastest time recorded is 46 minutes in a Phantom jet, but we haven't got that much wind behind us! The fastest cycle ride is recorded at just over 41 hours, so our leisurely ride should be a doddle - or will it?
Keep in touch on the blog to see how the training is going and just how difficult or easy the journey proves to be.
