Celebrating 60



Decision made, now the planning starts. To celebrate reaching 60 years on 9th July 2017, I'm going to cycle Land's End to John O'Groats - or it might be the other direction, they tell me it's downhill North to South. There are lots of choices to be made: alone or with company, up or down, bike, kit, accommodation and a few more. Having lost a stone in the first half of 2016, I now need to build up strength and stamina as I intend to enjoy the ride not see it as a painful penance. 


I'm doing it for myself, but it's an opportunity to help other people, so I've kicked off with an appropriate donation and ask friends and family to contribute to charity in the traditional way. Details at

Watch this space as I intend to record the preparation, the planning, the training and the anticipation.....or if that sounds like watching paint dry, come back next July and see how I'm getting on.
