Introduction

Starting in July this year Joe, my youngest son who is 15 years old, and I will cycle from John O Groats to Lands End. We are planning on completing the ride in 12 days, and will do so unsupported, a total distance of just under 1000 miles. Our chosen charities are the Royal British Legion and Little Hearts Matter.

Feel like S**T


Went out for a gentle ride, just to keep up the training having had a rest day on Monday and came across a small Kiosk in a village in the middle of nowhere. Thought it would be a good idea to refuel so bought a German Hot dog and a bottle of apple juice. Waited and waited and waited, and eventually a head popped out the kiosk window, grunted something in German, dumped the dead dog on the sill and slammed the kiosk window closed. "Thanks" I replied. It stared at what looked like fresh road-kill on a paper plate, covered in re-constituted onion, tomato sauce, mustard sauce, gerkins, other unknown vegetable matter and a burnt roll. I should have known better, but I was fairly hungry. I did question what I was doing and threw the remaining half in the bin and washed it down as best I could with the apple juice. Surprise surprise - yes I have the squits this morning. Lesson learnt - I truely hope so........
