Kinda done :-/

[HLaB]

I wanted to tick another one of the Bucket List but I don't think I did :-/
I left Lands End the other week and for a change in a slightly improving health. I think the sea air done me good. But it started to go bad after that as the pollen was killing me I just got slower and slower. After the 3rd day circa 300 miles I just about threw up a few times and never slept a wink with an aching stomach. So on the 4th day I had to get in the car. I got back on the bike the 5th day but the 6th was a repeat of the 4th. I did get back on the bike for the last 3 days. I was finally beginning to feel human but unfortunately I had to get back to work or a cycle to my parents in Fife would have been on :-/

To sum up I did cycle from LE to JOG but two days were in a car so I feel like a fraud :-/

That was tough, but you have time to try again.

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

Don’t worry about it.

Do it another time when the pollen levels are lower.

I’ve seen your Strava times and know you’re easily capable of achieving this.

Tough one, not something that I suffer with but I can imagine it being a nightmare. Still lots of opportunity to try again later in the year.

 

[ianrauk]

Its more then I've ever done.
Good on you for giving it a go anyway.

 

[Cycleops]

You're not a fraud, you did good.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Not a fraud at all, I've seen the pictures: wow is an understatement!
You have all the time in the world to do it again, maybe next time in autumn?
Pollen allergy on a long bike ride is not good.

 

[steveindenmark]

Not a fraud at all. I hope you learnt something. Doing it at another time of the year may be an option.

Don't be daft. You still did way more miles that most of us can dream of. Just look on it as a trial run

I'm blessed not to suffer with hay fever but have seen the state some folk get in with it.

 

[Tin Pot]

Well done!

 

[Crackle]

I did wonder about the missing days on Strava but that explains it. Still, several 100 mile or more rides with hayfever making your life miserable is not to be underestimated, in fact, it makes the achievement of what you did do, greater and I stand by my Kudos and Nice one comment. I enjoyed the photos too

Saw your first day's route on the Imperial Century challenge thread. Care to share the other days' routes please? (on this thread)
Bucket List challenge still waiting a 'tick'. Go for it at a time of year when your allergy is less of a potential hindrance.
Try a less hilly first day eg like this: View: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/6659505
