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.

Had a great weekend, no long distance rides, just a gentle 6 miles with Julie around the local lanes, me on my trusted old Trek Mountain Bike, and Julie on her Trek road bike. Went to our daughters house warming party last night, followed by a live band in a local barn, drank far too much and woke with a dreadful hangover......... Then jumped out of bed, and attended the British Cycling Assistant Commissaire Course from 10am till 5pm - very interesting stuff but found it hard to concentrate. Went to Portreath to see race yesterday afternoon. Great weather, good result for joe came in 2nd - well done. Back to Germany tomorrow and more training. Plan to recce some of the minor roads in Devon tomorrow on my way to Bristol Airport. I did try this 2 weeks ago and got lost - ended up in Exeter, then realised I was running late for my flight. So after driving like a man possessed, got lost a(again) around Tiverton, dumped the car off at the airport and just made it for the KLM flight to Amsterdam, well fed-up as I could not even by a newspaper.......... Oh, photos of joes race will be uploaded in the next couple of days.
