In September 2016 after completing a London to Paris ride, on the Avenue Verte, self supported, I managed to inspire myself into wanting to complete a bigger challenge. Lands End to John O Groats took my attention- a 1000 mile ride across mainland Britain. Solo & self supported I followed a 10...

A friend of mine is doing this at the moment, started Sunday finishes Friday. I would not normally put something like this on here. But if anyone fancies chipping in i would really appreciate it. He is one o the good guys. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/bob-groves1?utm_source=Facebook

Apologies if I missed it but I don't think there has been a thread about James MacDonald's record attempt on JOGLEJOG. Well I heard yesterday he did it subject to ratification and beat the record by 3hours finishing 5days 18hrs 3mins :becool: They've not updated the actual web site yet...

Hi all Apologies if someone has already posted this (& apologies for not posting on here for a few years...!) A lovely friend of mine, Jasmijn Muller, has just announced the start time for her RRA and GWR LEJOG record attempt - 5 Sept 7am! You can dot watch her here...

Jasmijn Muller is scheduled to make an attempt on the 'Ladies' record for LEJOG in (early?) September. Start date to be selected with an eye to the weather (wind) forecast. Her "goal for 2017 is to set a new solo world record for Land’s End to John o’Groats (843 miles in less than 52 hours and...

As some may have noticed in the 100Km challenge section of this board, I completed my LEJOG ride a few days ago. The writeup for my LEJOG is a work in progress................. Meantime, I'd like to publicly acknowledge the invaluable contribution made by the cycle.travel website, as having...

Silly question, I know. Only I can answer it. However, I'm looking for a little help in doing so. Basically, the question is, the challenge of LEJOG aside, is it an enjoyable ride? I would be travelling solo, trying to minimise cost and time off work, so we're talking camping + hostels, etc...

I am completing LEJOG unsupported with one of my friends in August. I have drafted up my LEJOG route and I would appreciate any local knowledge or any previous knowledge in order to suggest any amendments to my routes. I am wishing to stay away from busy roads as much as possible, and to keep...

Never being a big turbo fan, but the smart trainers have made it a bit more interesting, I like Zwift but there are only so many times you can smite Yoda's Tricycle, the CC Bkool leagues look a bit too quick for me and are at the wrong times for me. I liked the real world rides and videos of...

Just putting this up for discussion as I couldn`t see it elsewhere. I think it`s quite a good idea as to the principle behind it and I`d be surprised if some techy company didn`t take him up on it I`d need a set of wipers for the VR lenses given how much I sweat on the turbo! View...

LEJOG dates decided. Accomodation booked at Land's End 18th July. Will start the next day and 10 days/1000(ish) miles later should arrive John O'Groats. Just have to decide where I'm going to stay en route now. Exciting!

I've booked a LEJOG with Peak Tours 6-21 May this year. I'm averaging 6-7k miles per year with a couple of Imperial centuries and many rides in the 50-70 mile range, so not expecting too many problems with riding 70 miles per day for a couple of weeks. Did have the option of 100 miles a day...

The Cromarty - Nigg ferry service has started running again: a summer service in 2016 from 1 June to 30 September. Some details here..... www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=cromarty-nigg%20ferry If a Google search tells you the service is not running, this is now not the case - for the summer...

Have permission to ride a 10 day LEJOG next year, so about 100 miles/day. Will be on my audax bike with a triple and staying in Travelodges or similiar. Have some ideas of route from Bristol to Scotland but no idea about LE to Bristol. I've seen routes along both coasts, inland and some that mix...

LEJOG or JOGLE can be done cheaply or with more expense. What are people's experience of the costs they incurred or for which they are budgetting? My LEJOG (9 days, solo unsupported, 1000 miles) cost ~£800 (£700 below plus tyres, brake blocks, cleats, cables, chain - ie consumables). I have...

I have a copy of "End to End Cycle Route: Land's End to John O' Groats (Cycling) (Cicerone Guides) Paperback – 15 Mar 2012" to give away. Won't need it where I'm going... :whistle: Names below and I'll do the raffle at the end of the month. Usual rules apply.
