Heres a quick link to each of my blog articles written whilst cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats (LEJOG) on my own ( – I rode on my own as well!).
At the time, they were written to engage with friends and family and to assist in raising awareness for the two charities that I supported and tried to raise money for, whilst riding.
However, as it turned out, they ended up being as much a part of the ride as the cycling! Retrospectively, they have been a big part of helping me get over doing the ride and finally getting to a point where I think I did ‘complete’ something that was a big challenge. I’m now quite proud of what I did, but it took a lot longer than I would have ever thought.
Read my very late ‘Day 14′ for more about that bit, but I do hope you enjoy the longer, ‘daily-write’ version, as it will give more perspective on the above statement. Its honest, that I can assure you!
Not figured out this website palava just yet, so here are a series of direct links to the articles in chronological order, for ease. So as my Dad drilled into me, a story should always have a start, a middle, and an end. I’ll paraphrase that, to this:
The ‘Before’:
Pre-Ride: Twas The Night Before Chris Must…
The ‘During’:
Day 1 – To Finish First, First You Must Finish
Day 2 – Life Is A Rollercoaster
Day 4 – Tell Me Why! (Do I Do This)
Day 5 – Every Day I’m Shuffling, Shuffling, Shuffling
Day 7- Gold! Always Believe In Your Soul…
Day 8 – Your Take The High Road, and I’ll Take The low
Day 9 – Twistin’ My Melon Man (*spoiler alert – I gave up here…)
Day 11 – River Deep, Mountain High
Day 12 – A Bridge over Troubled Water
Day 13 – And Now, The End Is Here!
The ‘After’:
Day 14 – Show Me The Way To Go Home!
My LEJOG kit list – all I had with me…and its not a lot.
Hope you
