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.

Left Braemar at 8:25, first 9 miles to Balmoral a breeze, then came the climbing.
Top of the first climb on the road to Tomantoul


Top of Lecht, made Glenshee look like a walk in the park.









Stopped after the first down hill at Goodbrand and Ross Tea Rooms at Gougarss. Many thanks to the customers for their generous donations and special thanks to the proprietor for the complimentary lunch and generous donation.
Allot of climbing today, but still managed 47 miles averaging 9.1pmh
