John O'Groats to land's end

  • Did it on a geared bike this summer, just wondering if anyone's done it fixed? Certainly more tiring but I think it would be a good challange, Flip Flop hub would make sense.

  • I expect quite a few people have done it but how many on this forum is anothe matter. Fixedwheelnut is on here and he's done PBP and LEL fixed I think.

    EDIT: MASHTON is palnning on doing it soon I think, but I think he's said geared.

  • A couple of friends of mine are thinking of doing exactly the same thing for charity.. from some research (googling for about a minute) there are a few major routes, usually differentiated by whether or not they go through the pennines.. If I'm going to do it fixed I'll probably plan to not go via the larger hills

    I wanna do it before I leave this place.. if I ever leave this place..

  • If I were to do it again I'd miss out the Rugby league towns around Runcorn, trying to navigate the ring roads was terrifying. We Passed a skateboarder who was aiming to it in 20 something days if I remember correctly, and he had no gears.

    Good link Hippy, that east coast ride looks like a nice alternative
