We managed to get out for our first 50+ training ride today despite Dave's best efforts to slow our start with two very flat tyres. We cruised round in just over 3.5 hours plus breaks, which did last a little longer than expected due to Dave's appetite for apple pie! The pace averaged out at 14.7mph which felt comfortable and did include 2 or 3 climbs. A top speed of 38.5 was reached and our quickest mile was covered in 2 minutes 16 seconds! The weather managed to hold up and when the sun was out it felt warm. Let's just hope that come August 7th it stays the same. We also managed to get some more photos which we should get up soon.
John O'Groats to Lands End
Thank you for visiting our blog. We are going to be cycling from John O Groats to Lands End in August 2011. It's a total of 945 miles and should take us 12 days to complete. Dave did a 6 month tour in Helmand with 2 Rifles in 2009 and it has inspired us to help to raise money , and support awareness for our injured military Heroes. We would like to thank you for your support and will keep you updated with our progress! Ed Coy, Andrew Cracknell and Dave Wallace
