    John O'Groats to Lands End

    I'm planning on doing this in the Summer, with my other half.

    Now, the longest distance I've ridden so far, is the 170 miles back from Torquay when I collected this bike!

    Can anyone recommend routes/places to see/things to do/etc, etc, etc, etc...

    The part in Cornwall will end with us meeting (In theory) my family and younger brothers friends for another week of holiday. (1 week for to and from Scotland, 1 week in Cornwall - is that too optimistic?)

    I'm pretty confident about the bike, and my riding. I'm off tomorrow, and changing the coolant and spark plugs...

    Basically, anything you can think of related to this - post it up.

    Planing to ride in a one'r this year but don't know when yet.

    It will take at least two days to get to the top. Once above Glasgow the roads slow down a lot . Enjoy

    Once your North of Glasgow, use the bike lane ( wrong side of the road).

    everyone gives way and you can really cut up the traffic and make headway

    But if you're going up or down the A9 north of Perth, watch out for the speed cameras!
