First things, the bike. Lots of wiggling (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/) produced mudguards, a rear rack, rack bag, handlebar bag, cateye computer, padded grips. These got fitted when last back in UK at beginning of March.
Bikeadventures provided their trip notes, and I plotted these with http://www.bikehike.co.uk/ to save them as .tcx files for loading onto my Garmin Edge 305. But as you do, I decided to upgrade to a 605 to get the basemaps. This was ordered last night, and I should get it in a couple of weeks. Having the helpful garmin insights from http://frank.kinlan.co.uk/ should allow me to load up openspacemaps, and save the daily courses to the Garmins microSD card.
Train booked down to Penzance for the start (got in early so cheapest advanced fares) and Easyjet booked back from Inverness. Flights booked from Bahrain to/from London around the dates of the trip.
So thats the hardware. What about the wetware?
This archived blog covers our training for, and cycling from, Lands End to John O'Groats in June 2009.
We cycled 1054 miles and 60,000 feet in 15 days with 104 hours saddle time.
Being a blog, the entries are in "last in/first out" order. Route maps and details at at the end of the blogroll.
