All about Gordon Valentine's John O'Groats to Land's End (JOGLE) cycle
We have just ordered the following Ordnance Survey maps:-
We have made a very good start on planning the route. We should have a draft copy of the route on-line this weekend.
Once we’re fully happy with the route, we will then have the fun job of booking the accommodation.
We have now joined the CTC (Cyclists’ Touring Club). Since they do a very good End to End cycling pack.
The pack contains three detailed routes for this classic ride. It also a general information section, which includes guidance on which maps to use to complement the route sheets, advice on training, food and fitness and, most importantly, how to get yourself and bike to/from the start and finish points by train.
More information about the End to End pack, can be found here www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=3397.
Hi there, we’re already far into preparation for our cycle and today we joined the Scottish Youth Hostel Association.
We’ve been looking high and low for the best route to go by, but we just can’t seem to settle on the right one.
So we need your help!
Does anyone out there have some advice? Know a good route that we can go by?
Any ideas on the best way to combine 2 weeks of cycling with a good holiday of sight-seeing and fun?
If you have any helpfull advice of suggestions for our little excursion, please post a comment here or send us an email.
