Land's End to John O'Groats

The final day dawns and the excitement around the camp is tangible.  This would be the day we reached the end of our journey, the last day of riding 100 miles on my bike.  (Let’s face it, after this it might be the last time I ever get on my bike...)

Some had to start extremely early in order to catch their buses, trains or planes!  We didn’t have to start too early, we had been less optimistic about our capabilities and all gone for worst case scenario so our buses weren’t until after 6pm!

First things first, I er need a bike.....oh and a helmet, water bottles and cages, lights, little computer thingy, spare inner tubes, puncture repair kits, those little plastic lever thingys and oh so much Lycra....really?  Is there no other way?

How did this happen? 

Well, you know how it is?  You're looking for your next (possibly-mid-life-crisis-related) adventure/challenge, you bump into Mack in the pub and he suggests you hop on a charity cycle ride to raise money for the Paralympians.  Being a fan of the 'why not?' camp rather than the 'why', how could I say no to such a fantastic idea?  So, here I am signed up for Deloitte RAB 2012, Lands End to John O'Groats mammoth bike ride, yay!
