So we woke up bright and early to a wet Fort William. We ached like hell and could not be bothered to go anywhere especially in the rain. We had another fried breakfast which was just as good as the day before and this will be the last one we have as it is not particularly healthy […]
Please take a look at our 1500 mile journey through Scotland, England and Wales. We are not cyclists, but we love to cycle. Please sit back and follow our journey of ups, downs and funny moments.
Day Three – 21:07:12 The Mental Brick Wall
After one of the best fry up full English breakfasts we have had so far it was perfect and best of all it was not fried it was all grill cooked which was nice. We chatted to the B&B owners and laughed about our rest day being only 50 miles today and that we are hoping to […]
The Morlea B&B Drumnadrochit – Loch Ness
So we me made to Drumnadochit which is home to the Loch Ness Monster. Our support team back home had organised us a fantastic B&B it is called the Morlea and because they gave us discount because we are cycling for Help For Heroes and well all I am going to say is wow. The […]
Day Two – 20:07:12 – Freebies!
Day two began with a lush full English (Scottish) breakfast at 8am. Following this,we both put on some chamois cream to help with our sore bums. The cream was cold on the bum and this was then made worse by pulling up our padded shorts and having the cream ooze down our bum c***ks. The journey starts […]
Day One – Leaving John O’Groats
So today was the official day we leave on cycle ride down the the UK and we were up fairly early for a full English breakfast which was very well received. I checked over the bikes before we left and Jane’s bike had the chain guard rattling which was annoying so I removed it using brute force and ignorance. […]
Getting To The Start….
This blog post will be written as it happens so bear with it. 🙂 So we were up and showered by 4am and we simply could not be bothered for breakfast and so we just loaded the bikes up and started the short 3 mile cycle to the first train station. This was actually quite […]
Cleaning and Final Checks
So today Jane has gone back to Bedford to see her family and I decided to stay home and catch up on a few projects I am working on and also get the bikes ready. I took them out of the garage and bought them up to our flat 🙂 If my mother is reading this she […]
NO more training!!
So that’s it, no more training now!! if we are not fit now we will never be. We are both now nursing ourselves to make sure that we don’t get injured or do anything that could jeopardise the trip. I really fancied getting the longboard out tonight as well but that is going to have to wait […]
Rain…. Rain…. Crash….
So yesterday we had booked our bikes into the www.thebikestore.co.uk for their last check over by the professionals and because Jane was at work until 15:30, I decided I would get to Worthing a little earlier and give the guys in the bike shop a head start on my bike. It took me about an […]
My Heart Rate Monitor Arrived Today
So after seeing the guys at the bike store at the weekend they suggested that we used a heart rate monitor to help us get through the ride and I have to say its probably some of the best advice I have heard. I know about heart rate monitors because I have been an affiliate for them for a long time and […]
