Ten Years Before

Ten years ago I did a solo cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats. To mark the occasion I had toyed with the idea of doing JOGLE. Covid put paid to that so I thought I would relive the ride here, day by day.
Before we get to that though here is a photo of the bike I did the ride on. A Raleigh Pioneer Elite LX, a steel frame 21 speed hybrid. It's a bit of a monster weighing in at 15kgs before any luggage or bits and pieces.
It is not in its LeJog configuration exactly but is largely the same. I haven't ridden it for over two years but my son won't let me get rid of it as he considers it an heirloom!
