I am now testing GPS tracking, which is something I would have loved to have done last year, but I did not have the correct mobile phone for doing it. I do know when doing the cycle, it should work most of the time, other then when in the Highlands of Scotland, when your very lucky to get a network, well with Orange anyway.

Below are just some of the lads hoping to do the End2End cycle in 2011. Since the cycle is still a good while, away I am sure that some of them will pull put before that.
We’re also starting to look for new sponsors. Here are some of the reasons you may want to sponsor us:-
- Your company name and/or logo will go on this website.
- It will go on our cycling jerseys which will wear every day, while doing the End2End cycle.
- It’s a good way, to get your name in local new papers.

I had so much fun doing the End to End cycle in August 2009. I have started to planning to do the cycle again, this time for 2011. Yes I know that 2011 is a good while away, but it will give me lots of time to save up money again for it. Also this time, going to get a big group of us going it.
So far at least 4 other people have said they are up for doing it
. They are people that I work with at the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium. How they will be with so many of us wanting to take the time off, all at once I have no idea.
Now I really can’t wait for the summer of 2011. Just hope I have better weather this time!
More news on Team2011 soon…
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.

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.

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.
