Some really great news the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium have said that they will sponsor us. If we got their logo printed on our cycling jerseys. So means they are going to pay for our cycling jerseys, so that’s going to save us £150.

Our first long training cycle

We did our first long training cycle, to get ourselves ready for doing the End to End cycle next year.

We did a 58 mile cycle. The cycle took us from Mike’s house. In the Orton Malborne, area of Peterborough. To a village called, Swavesey, which is near to Cambridge. The cycle took us 4 hours, 43 minutes and 40 seconds. With an average speed of 12.4 mph. Going by the Cateye CC-CD300DW cycling computer on Gordon’s bike.

First of many planning meetings

We went to the Peterborough service station. To have a McDonalds. While there, we both made a start, on planning the cycle route between John O’Groats to Lands End.

We also made a quick list, of some of the things. We’re need for doing the cycle. The things, so far include:-

  • 1st aid kit
  • 3 lots of cycling clothes each
