Now the hard bit starts. I cycle at weekends which at this time of year is pleasant - the heat starts next month, and try and do gym spin classes at the Ritz Carlton. Cherry came out for 3 weeks on 19 March, so we immediately went out for a ride to the F1 circuit Costa Coffee (45k). On Saturday we went as far as could down the west of the island past AlJazeyer beach and clocked up 75k. Friends Seana and Richard have the only tandem in Bahrain and they kindly lent it to us for practising, so last weekend we went out on the tandem for 45 and 56k rides.
We need to do more as the LE2JOG days are between 60 and 80 miles.
Now lets see how we progress.
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.
