Lands End to John O’Groats is a great adventure and is on the ‘must do’ list of many cyclists. It is an exciting prospect and, quite frankly, a ride that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Below is a picture of my son and me at the finish after our tandem ride in June 2019 – a first for him, number 5 for me. But each one will live with me forever for different reasons.
Of course, when the exciting prospect begins to change to reality it can all seem a little daunting. There is so much to think about:
-
- How am I going to get to the start/from the finish?
-
- Where am I going to sleep?
-
- What will I need to take?
-
- What should I eat and drink?
-
- How much training should I do?
-
- How do I start creating a route?
-
- How much is it all going to cost?
Rather than spend days lost on the internet piecing it all together you could draw on my experiences of having ridden End to End five times.
