After travelling through most of the country, I finally have internet connection!! To see some comments on the trip so far and pictures, please look on each of the days of the route. I will do as much as I can when I can. Keep checking to see more updates. Yes my backside hurts and I am walking as though someone has kicked me where I didn't want to be kicked but I have done 753 miles and I will finish!!! Don't ask me to do it again though!

 
Here we go! 05/23/2009
 

We're in a camp site in a village called Effelfechen (careful how you say that) near Lockerbie. We will head up to John O Groats today and then the JOGLE starts tomorrow.
I will post comments here and update each day on The Route pages and look out for comments and photos on Facebook.
Keep in touch, Gord.

 
 

Hello everyone. I am very new to blogging but here goes anyway!

I started training at the end of September and was doing great until the clocks went back and that has made it a bit more difficult to get out and about. I am plugging away though and it's freezing out there, I'm really jealous of those "proper cyclists" with all their fancy warm clothes!! I'll just plod on with my shorts with a hole in the backside, kindly stitched up by Kate whilst I was still wearing them. Any of you who know Kate's sewing skills will know I took my butt if not my life in my hands.

Anyway, I will keep you up to date with what I am up to. Please feel free to leave me a message on this blog, cheers.

Gord
