I have been scheming to cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats since the end of my epic 2017 cycle.

I have been training to get fit enough to get back on my bike with the Falkland Recreational Runners since October 2021. All was going well. I was fit as a flea, doing park runs and running with the very nice people at Recreational Running on a Thursday evening and a Sunday morning. 

Until Easter Sunday  playing football with a 6 year old in attempting a fancy back heel instead I got a fancy torn hamstring. Dis aaaaaster!!

Fortunately I am either incredibly lucky or a very quick healer or both but for the last four weeks I have gradually worked up to completing a 50mile trip after a week of thirty mile trips on back to back days.

So to cut a long song and dance short I have decided to go ahead with my trip as planned. After all it is booked and paid for and it may be my last big fundraiser so June 10th is a go.

It is my intention to keep this blog up to date on a daily basis so please check back to see what I am up to and don't hold back on the donating- it is for a very good cause
