Starting on 16th July I'll be cycling from Land's End to John o'Groats. The tour will take between 2 to 3 weeks, covering somewhere between 50 - 80 miles per day. The total distance covered will be over 1000 miles. The exact route is yet to be decided, but it should take in: Lizard Point; Dartmoor; Cotswold Hills; Peak District; Yorkshire Dales; Scottish Highland (lots of) and Dunnet Head. There are a lot of beautiful places to pass through, so the pace is going to be leisurely rather than heroic, but either way its going to be a fantastic challenge.
Prior to the ride I'll post updates on my preparations here, and, somehow or other I'm hoping to provide an update on the ride at least every other day.
The trip has provided me with an opportunity to try to raise some money for the Parkinson's Disease Society, for which a fundraising page has been created on Justgiving at:
http://www.justgiving.com/matslandsendtojohnogroats
the aim is to raise a £1 for every mile ridden. If you're able to, we'd very much appreciate a donation.
If you've arrived here after kindly providing a donation , many many thanks again.
Cheers,
Mat
