Getting started

It all started 2 years ago when I did the Coast to Coast from Whitehaven to Tynemouth. I got the taste for longer rides and set my sights on the End to End.

However it soon became clear that it would be much more pleasant if not rushed in 12 days and so I started planning to do it as a retirement project in 2010.

Planning started "for real" in the summer of 2009 and my wife Jane decided she wanted to do it as well. My retirement date is fixed to April 1st 2010 when I go down to a very manageable 1 day per week. So the date was now fixed to start the JOGLE (John O'Groats to Lands End) on May 24th 2010 allowing 3 weeks to complete it (an average of around 50 miles per day)

The first night's accommodation in JOG is booked and the route is largely sorted. I will expand on this in a later blog. Please visit our website http://www.macjogle.co.uk/
