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”]
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”]

He came along to one of our Stockport Community Cycling Club rides having just completed…
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…
With the time for us to leave on our journey almost upon us it means the deadline for us to have our routes planned and finished is almost upon us too. For some cycling touring, a flexible itinerary is possible. However when you are part of a team of eight, with limited time it is often better to have as much planned beforehand as possible, and this latter approach is what we have taken for our End-to-End. It has meant…
