Day Zero

20.03.2008 - London - Penzance

Made it to the start. Me, Ben and my mother by car. Henry and Angus by train. Copper stopped my mother on roundabout thinking she was drunk or on drugs. She explained she had never driven in this country before and was supporting us to John O'Groats. He lives a few miles away from Land's End and says in the warmer months sees a never ending stream of cyclists departing for John O'Groats including a man who attempted it on a toilet on wheels, breaking down a few miles in.

LEJOG is definitely a well beaten track. I'm plotting the route on bikely but the elevation profile is not what I expect.

Mileage data from the bike computer to follow so check posts again soon.

Finally, we are doing it for the charity "Riders for Health", thanks to Angus.
