To celebrate my 65th birthday, and do something I have never done before I have decided to ride my bike from Lands End to John o'Groats. The idea was quickly seized upon by my daughter Sarah and her husband Scott who quickly formed a team. Our original research showed that lots of people do this trip every year, therefore it couldn't be too arduous - how wrong can you be. We planned a route up the West coast of the country, and booked our accommodation accordingly. It is only when we looked at the detail that we got to know the seriousness of this challenge; 945 miles, with a total ascent of 80,430 feet - the equivalent of riding up mount Everest more than 3 times. Still, I suppose there must be an equal amount of descent!
