Why?

Why?
This year, in fact until June 2008, John is President of Penrith Rotary Club. As a personal contribution to club fundraising, and because we want to, we have decided to cycle from Lands End to John o' Groats.We hope to raise lots of money for Cancer Research UK and Eden Valley Children's Hospice in Carlisle UK. The plan is to do the ride in May 2008 without support; just 2 bodies 2 bikes and 4 panniers.

Day 20...........Final Day!

We made it!










Our reward!


Left B&B 8:55am, beautiful day, but as usual strong head wind, got to John O'Groats 11:20am, fortunately the sign was out. Photographs taken coutesy of a group of bikers. Had champaign and a bacon roll. Cycled to Wick, found the B&B, had dinner and crashed out. Train home on Wednesday. Thanks to everyone for thier encouragement and messages of congratulations. Will post reflections on the trip when we get home.

Many, many thanks to David for updating the blog every night. (added under instruction by my Mam.......:-) )
