About us...

We are a dad and daughter team biking from Lands End in mid May and hopefully ending 18 days and 1000 miles later in John O'Groats. Chris been training rides in the Chiltern hills, whilst Louise (who lives in Amsterdam) has had to make do with flatter terrain. We are doing this for the challenge and to raise money for the brilliant work of Thembalitsha UK. To sponsor us please click here.

Day 15

In an effort to avoid this mornings Edinburgh marathon traffic our very generous host Mike cycled with us the first 5 miles to guide us out of the city. We have been so well looked after by Pat & Mike. Liz & I met Mike while we skiing in Austria in March & he kindly invited us to stay as we cycled through the fact that they are both retired GPs was an added bonus as we had lots to keep them busy with!

Cycling over the Forth bridge today ticked off another significant landmark but this turned out to be a long 60 mile ride on pretty rough roads which meant a 7 pm arrival at our B&B north of Perth tonight. Looking at tomorrows route we've just realised we have a 13 mile climb to one of Scotlands highest passes but at least the weather is great!
