Thanks to @Ajax Bay for the route out of Cornwall/Devon! https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36575350 Departed Land's End at 5pm on Saturday. I had to split it into two rides - 200 km to Exeter, and then 100 km to Dorset. I put my own colour on it by religiously sticking to the old A30 through...

@I like Skol , a couple of friends and I completed our LEJOG a couple of weeks ago. We wanted a challenging but not crazy schedule of 11 days. Staying in B&Bs and small hotels. For us all it was our first multiday tour. Here are the lessons I learned: 1. Planning and preparation made everything...

As it says.. How many miles was your LEJOG or JOGLE? Not sure what the shortest possible route is but I totted up 1,100 miles in 15 days, with a diversion via Arran, Mull and Gilchoan.

Has anyone ever done it using no maps, no gps or any other electronic device but only a compass for direction ?

There. We've said it out loud now. It's ON! We have been thinking/planning for a while looking at different outline route options, duration and timings, also bearing in mind possible Covid scenarios. We are settled upon a three week trip in June next year. Using the Cycle.Travel easy east...

Forgive the new thread, it's not a direct question, just a musing really. I've loosely planned to do LEJOG in May 2021 for some time now, and even in May 2020 it looked nailed on that we'd be okay by then, but with the constant flux I'm starting to wonder. I'm planning regardless, and I'm...

I am thinking of producing cycling video file pairs (gpx + MP4) files of LeJog 960miles. The route will be split into 35 mile segments over 28 days. I will input the Cycling UK LeJog files into the Google API to produce a slow scan image file. The files can be played over BigRingVR. I am...

With @I like Skol and a couple of friends Here is the link to my donation page which explains why DSA http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/NickLyth2 I should add that I'm paying for all my accommodation, meals, transport to/from so every penny goes to the DSA (less a couple of % to Virgin Money Giving)

Laura Laker takes a Ribble CGR Al-e on a spin from one end of the country to the other - experiences of Ride Across Britain on a Ribble e-road bike, with range extender battery. EBM system as used on Orbea Gain.

I have bit the bullet and signed up for the Deloitte RAB. Lands End to John O’Grotes. 980 miles in 9 days. I have done a couple of century rides and several 70mi rides, but never on consecutive days. Has anybody else done this ride previous in years? Is anybody else signed up for this? Any...

Richard Branson is currently in Wells.. I think.. on his 3rd day of his Lejog. He is riding a Brompton. No. Not THAT Richard Branson. Another one

earlier in the year I did Lands End to John O'Groats (oops Inverness) and had to bail there due to hamstring problems Now off again Friday to finish it off www.acrossbritain.uk Wish me luck!

I was looking at the short course route of the Pan Celtic Race and was thinking it would be an interesting base to start a Lejog route. It would make it a bit longer than normal, but quite interesting, with the occasional "cruise" thrown in. Has anyone else done this sort of thing?

I'm planning a 2020 LEJOG with @I like Skol and a few others. As I've floated the idea, it falls to me to do the bulk of the planning including the route. We are all regular cyclists and, given where we live, quite used to hard days in the saddle. However, we want this to be an adventure and...

Hi im just wondering if any body out there has done any light touring on a spa Elan probably lejog. I like the look of this bike looks top value for money... Thanks

Having recently become partially sighted (prob eventually blind) and depressed as s result I am looking for a focus and think LEJOG On SUSTRANS paths is the thing. I am a 53 year old couch potato, used to do a variety of spots. As I am partially sighted I need to do the largely traffic-free path...

Good on her! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-48730994

I hope I've posted this in the right place for most people, some might say it should be in the sport section. I've never been a cycle sport competitor or spectator but for some reason the LEJOG record breaking attempt by Michael Broadwith caught my imagination and one evening a year ago I cycled...

Hi all, long time for me posting. But I'm considering taking on lejog in 2020. Now currently I have a cyclocross bike, merdian 500. I bought it 18mnths ago and done 50miles on it. So I'm thinking would you advise doing lejog o this bike with slick road tyres on or would it be better to get a...

re this previous posting, I am now going to be starting Monday 20th May. You can follow me here for my blogs including prep and kit list I haven't got the perfect route, but my brain will explode if I try to plot any further. Forecast for the next two weeks (covering my first week) is...

I have started planning a LEJOG (or JOGLE not decided on direction yet) and am seeking out the quieter roads. Why plan a fast route when you can be on roads like the one I have found below (if you allow enough time)? What favourite roads would you have in your LEJOG? I am particuarly a fan...

Subject to work not being forthcoming I aim to set off from LE on Monday 20th May. Approx 16-18 days fully laden and aiming to camp or Warmshowers as much as possible. www.jmhr.com links to Crazy Guy and I will be blogging there once I am certain to be going. Route is essentially the Deloitte...

Sparked by an enquiry from @Ice2911 I thought I'd share a planned route for the eponymous challenge - an end-to-end exagerated by visiting the most southerly, easterly, westerly and northerly points of the GB mainland en route. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/26672556?beta=false LE, The Lizard...

Ive set my date in stone to do lejog, training starts from now, ive bought a scott mtb to do all my training on ,then im going to buy a road bike to do the actual lejog. Hopefully lose a bit weight in the process. I have set up a facebook page for the ride, plannin on 12 days, with a mixture of...

86 year old Laurence Brophy from Pencoed in South Wales is setting off today to do Lands End to J.O.G. He is quite an exceptional man who took up long distance running at 60 to keep fit. He plans to sleep rough when possible to save money. If successful he will be the oldest LEJOG rider...

Michael Broadwith started at 8 this morning. At 21.30 he's over 300 miles and north of Kidderminster. About 40 mins up on schedule. Gethin Butler's record of 44hrs 4mins was set in 2001.

We want to cut the first day shorter (concerned about the level of difficulty ) but are having trouble finding a place to stay overnight . Are there B&Bs or campgrounds in between King Harry Ferry and St. Austell? How hard is that first day fryom Land's End to Fowey?

It's only taken me about 25 years but today I finally reached Land's End, having been to JoG in the early 90's.. Oh and I haven't been to either on a cycle. JoG was by car, and today I was at Land's End on my Honda motorbike having left home 4 days ago. Slow I know, but I've also done Snowdonia...
