Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.     

 I have undertaken this 'jaunt' in previous years, but last year the old girl (Honda CX 500B) decided she wasn't up for it by conking out a few miles from the start! Cue hiring a car to get home and then re-joining the event on something a bit more modern and costing a lot more than the £300 allowed for getting your LDD bike to the starting line. However, a replacement drive shaft corrected the problem and explained the lack of go and she is now rearing to go. However, the reality of completing 900+ miles and avoiding motorways in 24 hours on the longest day (21st June) is still daunting, but the cause makes it worth it. I just hope Scotland does not live up to it's previous reputation of being the wettest place outside of your bath!
