E2E Day 4 – Exford to Cheddar

E2E Day 4 – Exford to Cheddar

E2E Day 4. Having cycled the toughest day yesterday in getting to Exford we set off this morning still feeling the tired legs. And it was straight in to another hill! Thankfully it was a lovely day and in between huffing and puffing of the hill climbs the scenery has been spectacular. Take a look at some of the photos below: We arrived at lunch in the Quantock Hills (the name gives it away!) rather pooped and an afternoon of…

E2E Day 3 – Boscastle to Exford

E2E Day 3. Today was all about climbing hills! This was looking back at where we had just come! However the weather was good which meant we could see the views – which were amazing! We even went past some ponies on Exmoor which where lovely. Had a lovely meal at The Crown in Exmoor. You can view our E2E Day 3 route below: [sgpx gpx=”/wp-content/uploads/gpx/e2e-day3.gpx”]

E2E Day 0 – Ready to start!

E2E Day 0 – Ready to start!

We got a lift to Manchester airport, flew to Exeter, taxi to the train station, train to Penzance then walked to the bike shop to collect our bikes. After pumping up the tyres, we then cycled to St Just, bought some food then cycled on to Lands End Youth Hostel. After cooking chilli for tea, we had a lovely relaxed evening ready for the big start tomorrow. You can view our E2E Day 0 route below: [sgpx gpx=”/wp-content/uploads/gpx/e2e-day0.gpx”]

It’s early Monday evening, and at 6.55am tomorrow morning our End-to-End cycling adventure begins. It’s hard to believe that it is all actually going to happen. Little did I realise 3 years ago when I met up again with Ian Riley (an old friend from my teenage days) for the first time in over 20 years that eventually we would reach a day like this. He came along to one of our Stockport Community Cycling Club rides having just completed…

E2E Catering Arrangements

E2E Catering Arrangements

The E2E ride (End to End from Lands End to John o’Groats) has been meticulously planned over the last two years. With there being eight of us doing the whole ride, 1 extra going from Lands End to Cheddar and then an extra 5 from the Isle of Arran to Inverness, there are going to be quite a few folks that will need to be kept well fed. I (Sarah) have been in charge of planning the catering to ensure…
