A week has gone now since we finished our epic 950 mile cycle tour from John o’Groats to Land’s End. It seems a long time ago already and yet the memories are thankfully still fresh. So …time for some JOGLE reflections perhaps. Let’s start with one of the disappointments – and there weren’t too many of those. This was obviously the fact that Sarah didn’t make the starting line due to breaking bones in her foot just three weeks before the start….
