I thought it was about time I did a bit of an update about my exercise bike challenge to cycle the equivalent distance from Lands End to John O’Groats. Unfortunately, I’m rather behind due to my continuing fatigue flare. However, I am still going. I’m not getting very far on any one day, but I am still chipping away at it. So, like the famous tortoise, I will get there eventually. I might not quite manage it within the year, but that’s absolutely fine.

Another 40km before I get to the next postcard point at Durdle Door, where I should have been on about 10th April. I’ll let you know when I get there…

Hopefully, slow and steady will still get me to my goal eventually. My daily distances have been severely curtailed for the last couple of weeks, so still a fair way to go until the next postcard at Durdle Door. However, every slow turn of the pedals gets me a little further along the route. I shall keep persevering…

Yesterday I reached my next checkpoint on my Lands End to John o’Groats exercise bike challenge. I’ve got to Plymouth! That’s 150km done now in the first 33 days. The next check point isn’t until Durdle Door and that is another 200km away. I reckon that’s about 43-44 days away, so should get there at some point in April!

I started my Land’s End to John o’Groats cycling challenge 3 weeks ago today. My strategy of doing a tiny bit on my exercise bike each day is paying off and this evening I have achieved 2 great goals. I reached my next checkpoint at the Eden Project AND I completed my first 100km! Next stop is 50km away in Plymouth. I reckon I should get there in about a week and a half.

After a week of slow, but steady cycling and maybe just a little over-done-things-itis, my virtual journey got me as far as St Michael’s Mount yesterday evening. I believe the next check point will be the Eden Project, but that’s a little way away yet.

I’ve now received the first 2 virtual postcards from my challenge. It’s a nice idea, but it would maybe have been better if they had written something a little bit more inclusive on the first check point card!
