Lands End to Manchester: Summary of my LEJOG first half.
Day 1- Lands End to Lanlivery Puddle. Saturday 17th April 2010
Very late start about 12:30pm, drove down from campsite in Lanlivery Puddle, paid the parking fee at Lands End then dawdled some more. Got photo taken at sign, brilliant memento and off. Really lucky to have H with me for the first stretch to Penzance which was really nice. At Penzance I had some GPS battery issues, running down very quickly so bought some AA batteries and swapped them out. This is the cause of the dodgy numbers from Saturday. After Penzance I headed off and got trucking along. The route was very pleasant staying mostly on quiet roads.

The hazards of riding the LEJOG…
I thought I was aware of the many potential hazards involved in doing the LEJOG….blisters, painful achilles, chapped bits, un-friendly car drivers, pangs of hunger but never had I expected Velociraptor Raptors

Ultimate Fashion…Team Pickle T-Shirt
The latest fashion statement in urban street wear. A Team Pickle T-shirt…every mans must have wordrobe item. Sadly there’s only one and that belongs to Paddy.
LEJOG….the end of the beginning.
Last day at work today, keen to get on with the LEJOG now but still got a bunch of stuff to do. Spent an hour last night making flapjack which was a roaring success.

Cheshire Cat 2010 – 100 miles-5000ft+ of ascent in 6hrs 22mins
A few photos from the 2010 Cheshire Cat. My training ride for the big LEJOG and the first time I’ve ever cycled 100 miles. Got myself a medal for getting up the big hill and everything.

Lands End to John O’Groats pre-start jitters…
So there’s 10 days to go before the start of my rather epic feeling 1200 miles ride from Lands End to john O’Groats. The bike is ready, my kit is ready I’m kinda ready. I know I’m certainly keen to get on with it. I often get a little impatient in the final weeks before a big trip. All that time spent planning, thinking about the possibilities, dreaming about what you do want to happen and what you really don’t want to happen.
