Has anyone seen CXRAndy anywhere? He hasn’t posted here in two months, hasn’t ridden Zwift for two months… I don’t follow him on Strava… anyone know if he’s all right?
Good point, nothing on Strava I can see since 29th April, and no other information I'm afraid, hope all well

Just to update everyone on here who doesn't follow me on Strava - I've had to abandon my LEJOG attempt due to poor health.

Made it through the first week relatively unscathed but then caught a cold which got worse with every subsequent day. By day 10, I'd gone from being comfortably in the middle of the group to bringing up the rear and when trying to hurry to catch up with someone on the Loch Lomond cycle path, I lost my back wheel on some mud and went down. Injuries were fairly minor but it knocked my confidence and some bad experiences on the A82 with traffic and wet road surfaces led to me taking the van for the last leg of that day and the first leg of the next.

Managed one and a half more days on the bike, but both mentally and physically I was drained and in quite a bit of pain (had coughed so much, my ribs were hurting) which was making me more miserable with every mile. Decided therefore that for my own wellbeing that I'd call it at Inverness.

Gutted, but at the same time quite proud I made it as far as this given the circumstances. At least I can say I did all of England (and bits of Wales) and can maybe come back and do Scotland separately on another attempt.
