About 3 months ago, my dad thought it would be a good idea to cycle from John O'Groats to Lands End, the whole length of the UK. I agreed with him and now with 3 days to go until we start this 1000 mile journey, it has finally come to the point where we are thinking why why why!! Only joking!
Our bikes are currently on route to Scotland in Wick (according to the amazing tracking technology my dad is bragging about every 2 seconds) and we shall soon be following suit on Thursday morning. We are starting our day at 3am where we will catch a flight from Southampton to Edinburgh then onto Wick. From there we will attempt to get a taxi to John O'Groats marking the beginning of this huge adventure!
As many of you may know we are helping to raise money for the Make a Wish foundation and this is the main motivation for the ride. Amazingly we have already raised almost £1000 for this great cause which helps vunerable children with life threatening illnesses. We are hoping by putting ourselves through a tiny bit of pain we can make a difference to one of these childrens life. If you are reading this and still haven't donated or have forgotten!! Just visit www.justgiving.com/adam-pibworth it is greatly appreciated!
So my next blog will be on Thursday, if we make it to John O'Groats!! Hopefully I will have a bit more to say. One last thing, we would like to thank everybody who has supported us so far and wish us the best of luck! Remember you can keep donating throughout the ride and we will keep updating you! I'm sure we will both appreciate any questions and comments to keep us going!! See you all when we are back.

Jenny Crewe Have you decided your route? I did it the other way round in May 1992 and had good weather all the way. No mobile phones, no internet then. Good luck.
Ruth Can't wait to see the updates every day! Good luck with it and enjoy - it's going to be brilliant! Painful, but brilliant! Ride safe :0)
