THE
CHALLENGE -
John O'Groats to Lands End is
a minimum of 874 miles but as it is not legal to
cycle on motorways then it will be around 900 to
1000 miles. To complete this challenge requires
dedication, commitment and a sense of purpose.
Training the body and mind to cope with the daily
distance is an important aspect in the preparation
for this ultimate British Challenge.
