On the 10th September 2016 I am cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats in 9 days. A total of 969 miles with climbing equivalent to nearly twice the height of Mt Everest. Full details of the route are here: http://www.rideacrossbritain.com/home/lands-end-to-john-ogroats-route/. Averaging 108 miles per day with no rest days this will be the toughest challenge I have ever taken on. So far my training is going well and I am hoping I will be fit enough to enjoy the ride every day. Sitting in the saddle for 9 days straight will be the real challenge! I am raising money for Hull Animal Welfare Trust because I have done a lot of voluntary work for them for a few years now and they provide a second chance for lots of animals every year.
