3 days in & already over 200km on the clock! This part of the world has to be cycling heaven with magnificent coastal & mountain scenery.
Mon's doing brilliantly well & only complaining hourly now, which is a fair effort given her cycling experience!
Equipment has held up well (touch wood) had a seat problem - did suggest to Monika that we get it fixed at Lands End but her look told me that it was in my best interest to get off my bike & help her fix it!
Scottish people are incredibly friendly, drivers are more likely to drive behind you & wait there turn to overtake, which given the narrow size of the roads is pretty courteous.
Have learnt to keep on eye on the bikes when checking mine after hearing flapping noise when hurtling down hill - found to my horror that the front wheel quick release had worked loose, meaning that there was little keeping the front wheel in the race.
So far so Good!
In June 2011 I will bike over 2000km's unsupported from John O'Groats to Lands End UK ! My motivation is simple i.e. 1) To undertake a life challenge that is physically and spiritually rewarding 2) Raise funds to help 2 worthy local OZ causes - Painting with Parkinsons & a local 10 year old girl with Autism named Maleah 3) Promote awareness and support for Parkinsons UK ! Any support is greatly welcomed. I hope my journey inspires others !
