Another early start so that we could get on the road and not have to rush was rewarded by some amazing views through Glencoe with the low morning sun lighting the mountains. We set off from the Youth Hostel is Crianlarich at around 6:30am after a quick coffee and made our way towards Fort William....
Holiday time!!! if you can call cycling the length of Britain from John O’Groats to Lands End a ‘holiday’.. Or driving it for that matter as that’s what Anna will be doing acting as support crew along with Morgan. Before we could do that though we had the small matter of driving North to John...
As you should know by now we are about to embark on a charity cycle ride from John O’Groats to Lands End in aid of JDRF (Click here to support the charity and sponsor our ride). We are just about ready to start heading up to John O’Groats in order to start the ride on...

Phew, the JOGLE planning continues. I’d already made route plans, although a few have been amended slightly so that we can finish at certain places for photo shoots and there is the odd detour just to avoid dual carriageways and larger roads.

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...
Those of you who have been being attentive will know that my next challenge is ‘JOGLE’, which is an acronym for John O’Groats to Lands Ends. Yes, starting at the end of the month I will be attempting to cycle from John O’Groats to Lands End in order to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research...
Following our assault on Bwlch y Groes on Saturday I had planned a long ride on Sunday too but Jay and Mike wanted something slightly shorter and a lot less hilly. I therefore re-planned our route as we ate bacon sandwiches for breakfast. We put on a few extra layers after being cold most of the day...
