Well, yes I did it...............I cycled from Lands End to John o'Groats in just under 12 days.
For those who like a statistic I recorded 975 miles including getting from and to the train stations.My bike computer was a little bit haywire but its more or less right.
My average speed was 12.1 mph and using simple arithmetic you will see that I only spent 81 hours in the saddle!! Doesn't sound so much does it. So I am sure that you can see why I wasn't saddle sore (much).
I can't give you statistics for the flapjacks, bananas etc that I ate but there were a lot! And Greggs cheese and onion pasties which are widely available are good for a bit of extra lunch.
I have only lost a few extra pounds.............about a stone since I started training.
I will let you know how the funds are growing in the next couple of days.
Thanks to those who have already donated and please to those who haven't yet. There are three good causes to choose from and you can donate easily and safely on line.
