If you've been looking for a challenge, and would like to raise money for a very worthwhile cause while you are at it, then why not consider joining us on all or even part of our jaunt?
We'd love the company and cycling is a fantastic way to see the beautiful British countryside. With the highlights being our climbing of the three peaks.
We plan to start on the 7th of May 2011 and to have travelled somewhere in the region of 1000 miles by the time we reach John O'Groats, hopefully on the 27th or 28th of May. A map can be found by clicking on the route tab.
What will you need? Well a bike with some ability to carry luggage to start, but importantly you'll also need a reasonably good level of fitness. We'll be averaging 50-60 miles per day but you will need to be able to cycle up to 70 miles loaded down with luggage.
We're planning on accommodation being a mixture of hotels, B&B's and camping. Of course you are free to go your own way in this respect, if you want 5 star luxury then go for it! We'd be right behind you in the check in queue if we could afford it.
This isn't an organised charity bike ride as you may have seen advertised elsewhere. All expenses will be paid for out of your own pocket en route, although we can hopefully help with transporting your bike to and from the start finish in a van.
If you are interested, we'd love to hear from you, please e-mail us at kaikoura21@yahoo.com
