<p>In April and May I am going to be undertaking the biggest bike challenge I've ever attempted, entitled <strong>LEJOG Plus</strong>. &nbsp;Over 17 days I will be cycling from Land's End to John o' Groats self supported.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I wanted to do something different to the standard 1,000 mile route, so I'm going via the extreme points of the compass of Britain. &nbsp;These are Lizard Point (S), Lowestoft Ness (E), Corrachadh Mor (W) and Dunnet (N). &nbsp;This adds around 500 miles to my route.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm doing all this for ShelterBox. &nbsp;This wonderful charity distributes thousands of boxes containing emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies to families affected by diasters around the world. &nbsp;They are often one of the first charities on the ground following major catastrophies.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>You can follow my progress at <a href="http://www.twitter.com/spikereid" target="_blank">www.twitter.com/spikereid</a> and at <a href="http://www.spikereid.net" target="_blank">www.spikereid.net</a>. &nbsp;I'll be averaging 90 miles a day. &nbsp;That's quite a way, and hopefully combined with such a great cause, worthy of your support.</p>
