Hi all, anyone done the john o groats - Lands end run? (or know someone who has).
I am looking at doing this in June 2009, in memory of my best friend who has just succumbed to cancer aged 43,(hornet rider), and would like a bike friendly route. I will be trying to raise as much money as possible for the Macmillan nurses charity. Thanks for your help.

How long do you think it will take?

I have a full week in which to do it, so time not really important, just the whole experience, and to raise as much money as i can.

Its looking likely that the next big scottish rideout is poss goin to be in June, so you may have some company on the way up if the dates coincide.
