Story

In Aug 2020, I was scheduled to ride my bike from Norway to Germany in aid of CHAS - this had to be cancelled due to travel restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.  This year, I will be staying in the UK to attempt another challenge - the official GB Duro route from Land's End England to John O'Groats up in the north of Scotland.  An individual time trial (ITT) with 4 distinct stages, this 2,000km epic trip has around 30,000m of elevation to overcome and will hopefully take me no more than 12 days to complete.
