Land’s End – John o’ Groats diary – Day 7
LEJOG Day 7 Carlisle – Kilmarnock 94.8 miles. 17.1mph average. 40.3mph max. 3,300ft ish climbed. Wasn’t overly enthused about today as we had been told it was a get your head down and do the job day. So in actual fact it was a pleasant surprise! Downside was it was...
Land’s End – John o’ Groats diary – Day 6
LEJOG Day 6 Preston – Carlisle 90 miles. 15.7mph average. 39.2mph max. Annnnnd you’re back in the room. Well, what a difference a day makes. Had a little word with myself, went to bed with the right tunes, got up today as my old self ready to go to work. After the...
Land’s End – John o’ Groats diary – Day 5
LEJOG Day 5. Shrewsbury – Preston 86.69 miles. 14.5mph average. 29.8mph max. Not a lot to say about today I’m afraid, I totally wasn’t feeling it from the start, had no desire to ride the route (mainly the A49 for 65 miles alongside trucks) and just got my head down...

LEJOG Day 4 Chepstow – Shrewsbury 94.1 miles, 14.1mph ave. 43.61mph max. 6,100ft climbed. HOW Hard?! I’m aware that I’m developing a bit of a theme, but today was seriously tough. 94 miles of climbing basically. I think we all had to dig deep and summon something from...

Land’s End – John o’ Groats diary – Day 1
Original post: September 19th 2015 It was always my intention to log each day’s events on my own site, but as time was so tight during the trip, I found I had just enough to upload the images to Facebook, along with a quick blurb. So, mostly copied from there, here is...

Original post: May 29th 2014 Shortly after I posted the finished Senna painting online (Full story here), I was delighted to receive an email from Bianca Senna – Ayrton’s niece, who suggested dropping by to see it. Yesterday she did just that. I am truly...
