Cycling Snapshot// JOGLE: Preston to Ironbridge

That day I cycled 110 miles from Preston to Ironbridge. Unfortunately I did so with my jacket sleeves pushed up Miami Vice style. Not learning since 1982.

Ironbridge will always hold a special place in my heart because it is where I invented the Marmite and Nutella oatcake sandwich. DON'T knock it until you try it. 

You're Welcome.

Cycling snapshot// JOGLE: Dalwhinnie to Perth

This was day 5 on my John O'Groats to Land's End cycle. Dalwhinnie to Perth.

There was a sign saying; 'WARNING Drumochter Summit. Cycle track climbs to 457 meters. Weather conditions can deteriorate without warning and can be severe even in summer. No food or shelter for 30km. No snow clearance or gritting on cycle track.'

I thought I hope I don't see a bear (I'm a city girl,  don't know how this nature thing works) and I hope I don't get a puncture. In other news this was the day I got my one and only puncture.

JOGLE// End to End travel & accommodation

I had a conversation over the phone with a B&B owner who said all their rooms were for two people sharing. I said I was fine with that but they'd have to serve me two breakfasts. They hung up.

The End of my End to End JOGLE Adventure

So I cycled over 900 miles from John O'Groats to Land's End. A 1954 map, one puncture, no injuries (except for sunburn & that time I zipped my nose up in my waterproof), no cycling shorts, no support crew & I nailed every hill.

My JOGLE adventure

So remember a while ago I said I was thinking about doing an End to End cycle? Well I'm doing it right now. In fact, I'm about half way through.
