Lands End to John O Groats Challenge

The time is getting closer

Well, I have finished my last 85 km ride in Spain, even though it was so hot towards the end of the ride I almost rang home for an emergency airlift!!! It is no fun riding in 33 degrees of heat, I can assure you. I'm strangely looking forward to cooler rides in the UK.

The bike has been bagged up for the airline, and I’m just hopeful now that they don’t send it off to the other end of the world by mistake.

Paul in the UK has been putting in many more miles, but has been hampered a little by work commitment. The Bank Holiday weekend is coming up fast though, so time for last minute training.

I keep looking at the weather forecast in the UK and see the word “rain” figuring prominently. I guess it is bound to happen at some point, I just hope it’s not all the time! The first night in St Austell is booked, and I’m hopeful it will give us a relatively easy first day as I know the second day in Cornwall & Devon is going to be horrendous.

We haven’t managed to book accommodation in Exeter yet, which is our second stop. We’re staying with one of my relatives the following night in Weston-Super-Mare, so that will make things just a little bit easier.

Thank you for all that have contributed so far to the Rifles Care for Casualties Charity. It’s much appreciated . For those that are still thinking about it, please dont think for too long

OMG :-)
