today i reached John O Groats. well. sort of, with some twitter buddies, to encourage some of them with collarbone injuries we agreed to mirror their efforts to do the LeJog distance by turbotrainer, as they were under doctors orders not to ride a proper bike. i passed the final 16 mile target, it's taken a while and of course i've not had the pain and frustration that the broken riders have suffered. i hope it's gone some small way to motivate them to keep going.
this ride was under some very overcast skies that threatened rain at any minute combined with strong wind, but at the same time the humidited was stifling. had a play with the GoPro cam taking stills and then a bit of post production meddling, quite pleased with the finished pic
ride 117
17 miles
total 2118
commute 598
