Recovering today from an epic 80 mile ride - Truro, Launceston and back - quite windy on the Moor! Janey's given me the all clear to do the John O'Groats to Land's End in January - I've got 8 days to do it in, hope the weather's okay. Just going to get a backpack together, train up to Thurso and start the journey back. Should be a great adventure. Might be a tad cold in the Scottish Mountains, and of course the days are short, but you've got to give these things a go.
Centre Parcs this weekend with the kids - they love Centre Parcs - I think this must be visit number 8? Very unsurfy I know, but we always have such a good time. Can't wait - and neither can they. They're frothing for it!
Good bike ride for January - but do you really want to be riding into the prevailing wind the whole way?
ReplyDeleteAs for carrying your kit, unless you can pack really light, a back pack will literally be a pain in the bum. Panniers or a bike trailer can work well.
Good luck - it's an epic ride!
