During the Christmas holidays 2010, i decided to set myself the challenge of cycling Lands End to John o Groats in aid of The Kids of Kolkata Drochas Trust. On the 30th of July i will start my journey of over 1000 miles in eleven days with help from friends and family along the way. This blog is my way of sharing my highs and lows from the day i got my new bike to my arrival day at John o Groats.........hang onto your hats this is going to be a bumpy ride :-)

Bring on Bealach Beag .....
Cant wait for the weekend, we're all heading to Applecross for a bit of a bike challenge. It's pretty simple really, we just have to cycle 43 miles, the easy bit.... then climb up Bealach-na-Ba (Pass of the Cattle) the UK’s biggest road climb, It rises from sea level to 626m altitude in 10km, the challenge !!!

I'd never heard of that pass - sounds tough! Good luck!
And good luck with the big one too...
