<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>You may know me as Black Jaguar, my real name is Brian. I have decided to make a southerly migration by bicycle from Loch Garten to Rutland water. I will be leaving Loch Garten on 23 April (St.Georges Day) and intend to arrive at Manton Bay on the Sunday 29 April.</p>
<p>I am a keen cyclist and have raised money in the past for CHAS and BoBath.. I decided that the Loch Garten Centre should be my target this time round after visiting and becoming part of the LG on-line community. I can see how much pleasure the Ospreys bring to so many people and I would just like to help the work at the centre continue.</p>
<p>I will set up a thread on the LG community before I leave and endevour to post each evening about the days events. This will also be open for anyone to contact me as I go south. If you are near my route I'd love to see you and if any cyclists would like to come along and chat on the wheel, I'd love to meet you.</p>
<p>Here's a wee summary of my route..</p>
<p>Day 1.23/4... Early train from Glasgow Queen Street. 07:06 arriving Aviemore 09:47. Cycle to Loch Garten. I hope to be at LG around 10:30. If, as I hope, some of you manage to be at the start that would be brilliant and a wee chat with you then off at 11:00. Destination, Pitlochry. a distance of around 65 miles.</p>
<p>Day 2.24/4... Pitlochry, via Vane Farm, Loch Leven and The Forth Bridge to Edinburgh approx. 90 miles.</p>
<p>Day 3.25/4... Edinburgh, over the border to Alnwick.. approx 85 miles.</p>
<p>Day 4.26/4... Alnwick, into North Yorkshire to Osmotherly. I think this will be a tough day another 90 miles approx.</p>
<p>Day 5.27/4... Osmotherly to Hull. approx 75 miles.</p>
<p>Day 6.28/4... Hull via The Humber Bridge to Boston, the terrain should be flattening out here so I hope to make good time.. 85 miles approx.</p>
<p>Day 7.29/4... Boston to Rutland Water. 40 miles approx Here the Challenge ends and I can relax. I still have 20 ish miles to Peterborough. Then for fun and to visit relatives and maybe meet up with Sugar, I'm off to Norwich on the Monday 30/4.. approx 80 miles.</p>
<p>3rd of May Train back to Glasgow from Norwich and cycle home.. back to work on the 5th...</p>
