Land’s End to John o’Groats, LEJOG, End to End, call it what you will. It was one hell of an adventure! And it was done on homemade bamboo bikes. In 30 days. Oh, and we added Lego bricks to the largest model being built in the world of and in Chester Cathedral, and climbed Ben Nevis!
Our first calendar Brevet Populaire together on solo bikes; not to mention R’s furthest yet. How the day unfolded. The trials and tribulations. Dealing with the extremely hot weather by getting wet. Thanks Audax Club Bristol & well done R!
