The route...

Ok, so its been about two months since the last post. I really didn't intend for it to be that long, but I thought I would concentrate on finishing off my colege course and getting the credits required to get me into uni. Then I jetted off to Turkey for 10 days (although I might as well not have gone, according to the amount of "where's your tan then?!" comments I recieved since I have been back!) and here I am now, still trying to cycle off the cocktails. Anyway, back on topic, here is a list of the route we are taking, and the daily mileage.

FRI      John O’Groats to Dornoch                 86

SAT     Dornoch to Fort William                     107

SUN    Fort William to Glasgow                    108

MON   Glasgow to Penrith                             117

TUE    Penrith to Blackpool                           82

WED   Blackpool to Montgomery                  117

THU    Montgomery to Bristol                       115

FRI      Bristol to Dunsford                             90

SAT     Dunsford to Land’s End                    100

So, according to our schedule, that's 922 miles...

Welcome!

First of all, thanks for taking the time out to read our blog. In the coming weeks we will be adding further bits and bobs on to this site but we're new to this so it looks a bit bland at the moment.

My brother and I have set ourselves the challenging task of cycling 900 miles from John O'Groats to Land's End in 9 days this coming August. We have both completed two marathons (focusing more on raising money for our charity Parkinson's UK rather than finishing with a strong time; 5'59 in Edinburgh 2010 and 5'27 in Paris 2011) and therefore have a relative amount of phyiscal fitness and mental strength. But cycling 100 miles in a day will be tough. And then getting up and doing it all again the next day. And the day after that...

Once again we're raising money for Parkinson's UK - please donate whatever you can at www.justgiving.com/saczakbros.

To be honest, we know nothing about bikes. But we did pass the cycling proficiency course in primary school so this should be a breeze!

In the coming days we will post a few pictures of us and tell you a bit about who we are and what we do, along with the plans of us mapping out our assault on the JOGLE course.
