Cycling Lands End John O'Groats

well thats 2x new bikes ordered ...... looks like it game on gents ........... training starts this week , 24 mile round trip to work so will start with that me thinks

Justdan, have you considered or are you already member(s) of britishcycling.org.uk? Took out membership for myself and the young fella recently - discount opportunities and insurance packages too. (Son will in the coming weeks, be doing a sponsored cycle run for environmental charities he wants to support - excursion will be about 12 miles all in - a start in the right direction - he has chosen the route himself. Guess who his support crew is!)

good for your son .... thats not somethin iv looked just yet but its not on my whiteboard of things to look into , cheers dave ..
good luck with the suppoprt crew pal , we planning do it unsupported at the min..... tents and oat bars lol

Thanks Dan, the "support" vehicle will be me on my bike towing the cycle trailer containing food and waterproofs - expect the event to last about 4 hours inc 1hr on ferry.

i got a bike trailer think , thinking that will be going withus on the wee journy ...........

Benefit of trailer is two-fold for me - I have come a cropper while laden with a rucksac, so the trailer takes the weight and also helps keep the back wheel of the bike on the ground! :lol:

iv managed to get my ttrailer airborn a few times with the kids in aswell lol.........

progress so far is , new bike has landed wooooooooooooopwooooooooooooooooop ......... and iv started the hours in the saddle ! 28 mile round trip to work , its a start !

some time of next week so the plan is to hit glentress in peedle ! 2osumit mile xcounrty trail
