Day 13 – Nessie’s not seen! | Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog
https://le2jog.wordpress.com/2010/09/16/day-13-nessies-not-seen
Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog. Follow me on my cycling adventure…. September 16, 2010. Day 13 – Nessie’s not seen! With the forecast much the same as yesterday we bundled up for cold, rain and wind. Thankfully, only the wind and cold were around, and they were not as bad as they could have been! We stopped after 20 miles just before Loch Ness for a coffee/hot chocolate stop, watched while the lock gates let boats down the river toward the Loch and then set off for the long cycle along Loch Ness. It ...

A real Maplehurst welcome. | Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog
https://le2jog.wordpress.com/2010/09/21/a-real-maplehurst-welcome
Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog. Follow me on my cycling adventure…. September 21, 2010. A real Maplehurst welcome. Yesterday – Monday 20th – we woke at the usual time, for the usual breakast slot in order to leave at 8:30. But this time there was no lycra, no weather watching to see how many layers to put on and no kit check. Bit sad really. What’s missing from the picture? Pins all up the country, showing our route. We had been gee’d along our trip reading all the comments of support on our blog&#...

Thomas Riley | Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog
https://le2jog.wordpress.com/thomas-riley
Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog. Follow me on my cycling adventure…. I’d like to tell you something about my Dad, Tom Riley as I’m doing this epic ride in his memory. Thomas W. Riley grew up in Ithica, New York State in the twenty’s and thirty’s with his Mother and Grandma Gussie. He had many stories to tell of this era, too many to re-tell here, but I will just tell you my favourite one. Tom worked for over 40 years for The Lummus Company (as it was then called). His travelled around the world projec...

Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog. Follow me on my cycling adventure…. September 27, 2010. Where did that week go? It’s been a week since we got back from our epic adventure. I had my first cycling dream last night – we were in Reading on the way home cycling home from John O’Groats! I must be keen. Montbretia lining the roads in Cornwall, crazy, neverending hills over Exmoor with fluffy sheep and bolshy ponies. Rainy, but beautiful Devon. Reaching Preston after only a week……wow! Climbing the long and beaut...

Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog. Follow me on my cycling adventure…. October 3, 2010. Another week, another bike ride……. Hope that’s soon. On Friday 1st October Ray Welton kindly said I could come to his 2010 launch of the Old Ale and collect for The Alzheimers Society. I was happy to take him up on his offer and even happier to be able to taste the new Old Ale and experience a fantastic evening out. Ray Welton's Old Ale tasting session. Laquo; October’s looming. Autumn’s well and truely here now. Will sh...

https://le2jog.wordpress.com/2010/09/29/octobers-looming
Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog. Follow me on my cycling adventure…. September 29, 2010. Still trying to get into a ‘normal’ routine here in Maplehurst….or perhaps I already have. Am missing my bike, it’s still getting it’s service, and winter draws on. Hopefully I’ll pick up my bike tomorrow – they said it would be done by today – and I can get out again. So, what I need is some serious list making, not only for things I’d like to do, places I’d like to go, and the like, but for things that n...I’m...

Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog. Follow me on my cycling adventure…. October 11, 2010. Autumn’s well and truely here now. Another week gone since we were in rainy Inverness – beautiful, but rainy Inverness. Today I drove down to Devils Dyke – thinking half way there I really should have cycled! I had lots of trys with my new lense, think I need a lot more practice though. Maybe I should download some instructions! It was a super day out, well half a day anyhow, and I had a yummy lunch in the pub at the to...

Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog. Follow me on my cycling adventure…. September 18, 2010. Day 15 – arrived at Wick, somewhere I’ve never been. Hello, and welcome back, I thought it might be safer if I wrote my blog before dinner tonight! So here I am. Sorry if I offended anyone with my ramblings….you’ll be pleased to know I woke up reash as a daisy! Ooh good, internet connection problems….that’s me up ’til 12:00 again ;-) ]. Sighting the North Sea. At least I had wi-fi again. There will be more posts over ...

Lands End 2 John O'Groats Blog. Follow me on my cycling adventure…. September 17, 2010. Day 14 – wind’s still keen. Hi all, and thank you for the comments and support as ever. We have finished day 14, only 1 and a 1/2 to go – hurrah! I think we got into de-mob mode a little early tonight, so excuse me if this post meanders a bit in it’s content! It’s 10:26 pm, the others have gone to bed and I’m left in the hotel’s front lounge, where the wi-fi signal works! Woah, there….lets not get too hasty! Oil rig&#...
