Only 3 months to go!

The weather hasn’t been any kinder recently and it has been very difficult to get much training in.

Our route is now finalised and we have booked all our accommodation down as far as Herefordshire.  We had a slight problem with the Mull of Kintyre as it turns out that our arrival there coincides with a large yacht regatta but it is now sorted and we have somewhere to stay.   We are also planning a training ride at the end of April along the length of the Devon Coast to Coast which runs 100 miles from Ilfracombe to Plymouth

We are now going to start the sponsorship campaign so please get your cheque books out and sponsor us.  We are doing the MacJOGLE at the same time as Jon and Rob are doing Lands End to John O Groats and hope to meet along the route  (see http://www.cycle-endtoend.org.uk/index.php?view=details&id=3%3Arob-a-jons-lejog&option=com_eventlist&Itemid=109)

Several people have asked what MacJOGLE means.  JOGLE is a standard shorthand for John O Groats to Lands End.  Our ride is in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support– hence MacJOGLE.
