We are aiming at 10 days. I wanted to do the Youth Hostel and am still working on my co-rider to go down that route.

I am 5ft 10ins

I am going with 1 other person and in the last week of May. We are thinking of camping but the other person is planning those bits. I am tasked with getting my own bike and the sponsorship.

I really don't want to try it on a mountain bike and having tasted road bikes I need to source a proper bike!

Road Bike

I am about to complete a Lands End to John O'Groats ride for Diabetes UK and only have a mountain bike to do it on. As you forumites will know that is not good as the gearing, seating, suspension etc is going to make this a very long ride.

I am either looking to loan or buy a road bike but I am limited on how much I can spend as the money I use for the bike will have to be deducted from what I manage to donate to the charity.

I am happy to collect from anywhere in the country and if it is a loan then I would ideally need it from as soon as possible until the middle of June.

Any advice about the route, where to stay, what to take etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

I am about to complete the Lands End to John O'Groats bike ride for the Diabetes UK charity. Any advice, information, equipment loan and/or donations would be greatly received.

I only have a mountain bike to do it on at the moment and am desperately looking for a road bike to use. As you forumites will know a mountain bike is not ideal as the gearing, seating, suspension etc is going to make this a very long ride.

I am either looking to loan or buy a road bike but I am limited on how much I can spend as the money I use for the bike will have to be deducted from what I manage to donate to the charity. Again any help would be hugely appreciated.

If I manage to get a loan then I would ideally need it from as soon as possible until the middle of June.

Please feel free to post advice about the route, where to stay, what to take etc.

Thanks

Mike

Hi Wicksie

I can't PM yet which is a pain. My email is mike@emuevents.co.uk if you want to get back to me. I am so wanting to learn Photoshop and get in to layering.

Cheers

Any chance of the Photoshop book? I might be able to get past Mr Basic then

Anyone got any advice as I am about to do the John O'Groats to Lands End bike ride. Still not sure what bike to look for as I am training on a mountain bike at present and I know that is wrong

Hi

Has anyone got the Lands End to John O'Groats route? I am doing it for Diabetes UK this year and want to start planning it

Thanks

Mike

Hi I am involved in a charity ride for Diabetes UK. I am riding from John O'Groats to Lands End but at present only have a mountain bike that I have adapted with road tyres. Obviously the gears, handlebars etc are all wrong for such a distance so I am looking to either buy very low cost or loan a bike to complete the ride on. I will of course get the bike serviced at the end if someone would be good enough to loan the bike. Ideally I would like to buy one then the responsibility is mine. Is there anyone out there with a bike sitting idle? Please either reply ot the thread or call me on 07896 803071.
