All about Gordon Valentine's John O'Groats to Land's End (JOGLE) cycle
We have just sorted out the helmets, that we will wearing while doing the cycle. We are getting “Las Victory Helmets” from Wiggle.
So far have just sent off for one, to see what it’s like. If we like it, we will send for another one.
We would like to say a another big thank-you to the people that have donated, to National Autistic Society, via our justgiving page. So far we have raised £295 (42%), out of our target of £700.
I think that I have sorted out the pannier rack problem, after e-mailing lots of different on-line shops and posting to the Cycling Weekly forums. It turns out that 29″ tyres are the same as 700c, why they have two names, I have no idea. So thanks to everyone that helped sort it out for me!
I would like to say a big thank-you to the two on-line shops that did get back to me. Them being Chain Reaction Cycles and Wiggle. I am also a wee bit pissed off that the Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative, did not get back to me, after spending so much money on a new bike from them.
It looks like I will be getting “LifeLine Alloy Disc Brake Rear Rack” from Wiggle.
As you may have read, I am getting a new bike. Which has got 29″ tyres on it. Now after looking all over the Internet, I can’t find any pannier racks, that will fit a bike with 29″ tyres and disc brakes. So now I have a pannier and no way of putting it on my bike!!
So if anyone knows where I can get a pannier rack that will fit my bike, then please comment below!
I have just got an email from the Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative, saying that my bike will be delivered on Wednesday the 1st of July.
I can’t wait, since I have not had a new bike since July 2001, when I got a Trek 810 from Trossachs Cycles, for £199. Which I don’t often use, since it’s the bike that I keep in Scotland, for using when I go to see my family.
