I am planning to bike from John O’Groats to Land’s End (JOGLE) – approximately 1017 miles over 16 days . I start on Monday May 2nd and finish on Tuesday May 17th. I am riding on my own carrying my own things. It’s exciting and scary!
I decided this about 4 months ago, but since the new year I’ve been getting more and more excited.
I was going to do a blog when I did the actual ride but people seem interested in my training and preparation, so I thought I’d start my blog now.
I hope the blog will also encourage people to sponsor me – I’m doing the ride for Peace Direct – I’m paying all my own expenses so the money I raise goes to Peace Direct. I’m 63 now and hope to raise £50 for each year of my life – so £3150 in total. Please support me by sponsoring me.
Today I road to Bissoe and back – around 45 miles – cold but sunny – felt tired when I got back. I have been doing spin classes in the gym and short rides and have lost some of my ability to ride long and hard, so need to get more longer rides in – here’s hoping for the good weather to continue.
