My story

Between 15^th and 19^th June 2009 I successfully complete the Lands End to John o Groats ride in my planned 5 days. I covered over 900 miles in 59 hours on the bike and 73 hours on the road.

There is a video and some pictures on this site plus a longer write up and some more photos at the link below.
