Phil & Joe's LEJOG 2011

Welcome to what will hopefully unfold into a succinct story of our attempt at an End-to-End cycle ride in June 2011. We are Phil Keeble and Joe McDowall, two retired neighbours from Inverurie, and we intend to start pedalling from Lands End on Tuesday 14th June. The record stands at 44 hours to reach John O'Groats but, recognising that a reasonably fit bloke on a bike should manage it in 9 days, we're planning on 15. Keep watching and see how the story develops. Wish us luck!

We're here : Day 0

We've started! Okay, okay, so we cheated a bit. Anne and I arrived at Lands End around 15:30 and met up with Joe and Maeve who got there just a few minutes before us. After a long blether with a couple of Merseysiders (who were also just arrived and planning on doing the LEJOG in 15 days) we decided that as the weather was so uncharacteristically good, we'd return to the B&B at Sennen, don the kit and return for a photograph. So here it is. Doing it at this time also had the advantage of being able to use the signpost after the chap had gone home for the day ... so it was free!

So with a following wind we banked the first 2 miles of the journey back to the B&B ready for a meal and an early night.

Easy so far!
