JoGLE complete at last!

[Brandane]

It's only taken me about 25 years but today I finally reached Land's End, having been to JoG in the early 90's.. Oh and I haven't been to either on a cycle. JoG was by car, and today I was at Land's End on my Honda motorbike having left home 4 days ago. Slow I know, but I've also done Snowdonia on the way down.

Needless to say the weather today was in keeping with my reputation. It rained all day, was cold, windy and foggy. A truly horrible biking day.

Got another 3 days to get home (from Looe, Cornwall) and hopefully the weather will be as forecast - warm and dry!
BTW, my experience of the traffic on the roads of Cornwall has put paid to any lingering notion of ever cycling LEJoG.. There's not enough money in the treasury to tempt me to cycle on any of them.

Nice, enjoy the ride home.

Beautiful and sunny in Denmark this week.

I was hoping to ride in the Transcontinental this year but my work schedule will not allow it and so we are hoping to go down and follow the riders for a few days on motorbike. We cannot decide whether to take the Moto Guzzi Breva 750 or the Honda Innova 125. We have toured on both and I find the Innova to be like a motorised bicycle. Its great.

Either way, we hope to have better weather than you are getting.

Well done, nothing like finishing a job you've been putting off ;-)
Don't let what you've seen put you off cycling it, pick different roads:

This just in...

Scotland is in the midst of a deadly drought,
Sandstorms are sweeping the Central Belt,
Loch Lomond and Loch Ness are at dangerous levels,
Starbucks and Costa are being closed to water shortages,
Crops are dying in the fields, open fields are turning to dust..
Livestock dropping like flies by the hour.
North Ayrshire has become a desert,
Inverclyde? who really cares
Hipsters are losing the will to 'be hip'
no mixers for the Buckie
It's terrible

Wee Nicola is asking where is the man who can save us?

You'll have to work out the average speed from JOG to LE. Shame you couldn't have delayed the trip for a few days with this weather we're having.

There's a lot of powdery substances in Nelson Street but I don't think sand is one of them!
