Lands End to John O'Groats on Two Wheels

This is where you can keep track of my progress, as I cycle all the way from Land's End to John O'Groats. I am going solo, unassisted, will carry everything I am likely to need, and hope to complete the 1,000 mile ride in under 3 weeks. Sponsor me on this link http://www.justgiving.com/fredonabike

Day Zero


Wednesday 17th May, 2006

Today is day zero. Got back from France late on Monday & spent yesterday running around nervously trying to get everything done in time for my trip. On the one I hand I am really looking forward to it, and on the other I feel ill prepared, which is an annoyance.

Going to get the train from Balham to Victoria, & then cycle to Paddington. Have booked myself & bike on to the 1405 from Paddington to Penzance... & booked in to the YHA at St Just this evening, about 4 or 5 miles from Lands' End (ironically, in the wrong direction). The first 5 nights accomodation are sorted, which also helps.

The weather is cool, which is nice, but it has been threatening rain & the forecast for this afternoon / evening in Penzance is heavy rain. First stop is in St Agnes tomorrow evening; I'll post an update the next time I come across an internet terminal but until then, au revoir et a bientot mes amis...

Good luck - I realise it's tricky finding an internet connection but I hope you're studiously making notes.
