  Mark Beaumont Just doing a plug for a show which will be on BBC1 later this month. It’s a documentary called “The Man Who Cycled The Americas”, all about Mark Beaumont. It will air on BBC1: Tue March 23rd, 30th & April 6th from 10.35pm. Websites:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/cyclingtheamericas http://twitter.com/cyclingamericas http://twitter.com/MrMarkBeaumont As the end to the cycle challenge draws near, the exhausted team of celebs get a new lease of life and theres still plenty of surprises for them at the finish line! If you’d like to show your support for the BT Sport Relief Million Pound Bike Ride, you can sponsor the team at www.sportrelief.com/bikeride.  #SR_bike They made it! on Twitpic Well done to the six celebrities that cycled the length of Britain. So far they have raised £1,006,509 (correct at 04/03/2010 @ 8:11pm GMT). They nailed it! In 82 hours, seven celebrities cycled the length of the UK, day and night, scaling 1,000ft peaks, battling icy blizzards and lows of -15C. Listening to them on the Scott Mills show on BBC Radio 1, was great. I was so happy for them, it made me remember when I did it last year. You can still sponsor the team by going to http://www.sportrelief.com/whats-on/challenges/cycleteam/donate. You can watch their entire journey on Thursday 18th March on BBC One at 9pm. Don’t miss it!
Below are my Record Sheets from the End2End cycle. Which I got stamped each night, other than Okehampton (day 14) since they had lost there stamp. I really need to get around to sending them off, so I can get my certificate.  End2End record sheet 1  End2End record sheet 2 I often get asked just how much the End to End cycle cost me. Here is total cost…. it was… wait for it…. £1,667.85. This does not include the food, which I have still to work out. The cost could have been much less, if I had not got a new bike for the cycle, which set me back £549.99. I also got a GPS for the £323.99, which I could have done the cycle without it, just made things easier since I did not have to get out paper maps all the time. Also lots of the items below are one off costs. The bike, should do me for at least 5 to 10 years. The GPS, also gets used all the time. So next time, I do the End to End cycle, means I will only really have to spend money on accommodation and food. Below is a list of the things I got for doing the End to End cycle and how much they cost.
The YHA Chester has now closed. So when planning your End to End cycle please bear this in mind. It’s very sad news, I really enjoyed my stay there, last year while doing the End2End cycle.  YouTube channel I now also have a YouTube channel. The idea of it, being I will add all the JOGLE/LEJOG videos to it that I find on YouTube. If you know of any ones that I have missed, then please contact me. This website is now listed on “Ultimate Links of LEJOG” which can be found on the great LEJOG Cycle website. I have just registered the www.endtoend-cycle.com domain name. Since I don’t want anyone else getting there hands on it. No need to worry the old domain name will keep working too. |
