In April this year we decided we wanted to give our
out-of-practice legs the test of the UK's ultimate cycling challenge.

The John O Groats to Lands End challenge is essentially the
farthest two locations apart in the UK which will take us from the very north easterly
tip of Scotland to the sunny south west of England.

Although the typical distance by road is 874 miles, our plan
is to cycle a route closer to 1000 miles and plan on taking 10 days to complete
this challenge. To add to the challenge we’ve decided we will be taking our
bikes fully loaded with all our gear, inclusive of our accommodation (tents).
We will no doubt regret this decision to add unwanted weight when we come up against the nasty hills!

By the time the challenge start date comes around we will
have been training around 3 months which will have hopefully prepared us enough
- But let's wait and see...

We're hoping that with this being a fairly sizeable challenge
we could raise some money for a good cause along the way.
