L-E-J-O-G

There comes a time in every cyclists life where the lure of the End To End, aka LEJOG (Lands End to John O Groats) gets to the point where it has to be done.

My time is now.

I could also have done the JOGLE from John O Groats to Lands End but I like the idea of cycling uphill for 920 miles !!

2016 is the year, Monday 20th of June is the date.

I am also doing this in memory of my dad who died almost 20 years ago. He was my hero, always the life and soul of a party and he would have loved to be with me I am sure. He and my mum spent many happy times in Cornwall, Scotland and travelling so my thoughts will be with him along the way.

I will be raising money for anyone who wants to donate for 3 charities.

They are:-

Hope House Children's Hospice       http://www.hopehouse.org.uk/home.html

Help For Heroes                 http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/

Kenyan Schools Project          http://www.kenyanschoolsproject.co.uk/

My page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/RichardOwen

I will keep posting on this blog of stories of the training and preparation leading up to the day.

Thank you

Wish me luck !!!
