Sorry for the lack of updates during JOGLE, but we didn’t have very good wi-fi signals most of the time and therefore couldn’t post to the weblog. I will make amends over the next few days though and will post for each day as soon as I get the chance. In the meantime, here’s an...

The current routes are Day 1: John O’Groats to Inverness – 118 miles http://www.strava.com/routes/443052...
My training for JOGLE continues and yesterday I set a new distance record on my bike with a ride through the Snowdonian countryside that ended up being 125 miles. One again it was pretty wet and windy out there most of the time, although it did dry up for a while. From here in Ynyslas...
With my JOGLE attempt approaching quicker than it should be and time running out, I’ve been trying to get a longer ride in each week just to start preparing my body for so much time in the saddle. Finding the time for such rides isn’t easy though and so far I’ve only managed 4 such rides. The...
