  • LEJOG Day 11 – Tuesday 4th June

    After the slightly negative end to the day yesterday, we got back on the bikes early and headed to the exact spot of the puncture to continue our ride from there. After some choice words for the bump in the path Harry ran into, we finished what should have been yesterdays ride and cracked on.…

  • LEJOG Day 10 – Monday 3rd June

    We got up early to get ready, have breakfast, pack up and set off on an early start for a long ride today. Tina strapped up my knee to protect it on the ride today… I’m pleased to say spirits were higher today! The start of our ride was a 20km drag uphill, so we…

  • LEJOG Day 9 – Sunday 2nd June

    Spoiler alert – WE MADE IT TO SCOTLAND!!!! Undercarriage update: skin care routine continues to perform well. Areas remain tender. Beth’s nature wee count: 6 and getting more brazen by the day.

  • LEJOG Day 5 – Wednesday 29th May

    We got up early this morning at Oli’s house – we were feeling quite tired with sore bodies this morning. We wanted to set off early as we had a big day of cycling ahead of us – 120km from where we were in Bristol to Worcester. We said our goodbyes to Oli and thanked…

  • LEJOG Day 4 – Tuesday 28th May

    We let ourselves have a lie in and take the morning slower this morning because we’d had a tough 3 days of cycling. When we did get up, we had some breakfast and got ready. Harry had a leftover fajita for breakfast! Unfortunately our washed clothes hadn’t fully dried, but at least they smelt better! …
