Hi all.

I'm aiming to organise a charity ride from John o' Groats to Land's End next summer. Does anybody know of any good websites with info on how to organise such an event, or any other sources I can try? It's a bit of a daunting task, logistically.

Any suggestions will be greatfully received! Cheers.

I suppose the way a cyclist would describe it might depend on whether they raced up it and, if so, whether they won.

I’m not sure what we were expecting really. By this stage we’d all gone through various pain barriers, come out the other side and found new ones to deal with. We knew there would be the thought of that finish line sustaining us but would its attraction prove strong enough? There was only one way to find out…
