Good luck on your trip.Its very windy here from south east.

Sorry for the late reply, currently at Inverness, and will arrive JOG on 4 OCT, so prob too early for you, + I may only ride to Inverness and train home. Sorry for the vagueness!! Good luck

Hi,

I'm starting LEJOG, friday, aiming for JOG in 2 wks, may ride back most of the way, if conditions suit.Solo Male tho' prob not what your after.

thanks mick,
I ;m going to do it in one day , then start remainder of my tour Gib to jog.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for advice on a route to lands end from Plymouth.
I am arriving on the ferry wednesday. Do I take the coast road or up over bodmin?

Thanks in advance

Thanks guys, it will prob be a day or two, late, not hours. Seems best to go online when i know my arrival.

Anyone know if you can alter your ferry booking? if so is it free? Plan is to reach Roscoff and take ferry to Plymouth< but unsure of when it will be as heading north from Spain.

I have just purchased a CTC poly travel bag AND a lightweight rain cover. The difference = Nowt. So the CTC bag will go back as it was 5 times the price of the rain cover.
May be of some help to someone on here.

As Tony r says, my experience with T-Mobile was basic NO 3g coverage all way across usa, you get used to waiting for pages to load.Good luck.

Think i'm going through next week (work) en route to Lugano, i'll enquire at the office if I remember.

I'm departing Gibraltar 24 Aug , heading for Cherbourg, tho I doubt we'll cross paths even if start dates are similar , as it's 50 mile per day average for me. You can use your 'apps' on the phones just check your data allowance in EU. I'm using x2 paper maps, France and Spain. Good luck.

Having done the Transam and Lejog, Devons roads do compare with that of the Appalacians in VA and KY, they are old steep roads. Missouri or Misery where similar too in that short and steep, tho' nothing like a few 25% grade I come across in Devon. Good luck.

I wish you the best of luck. I often post on my local newspaper's forum, and while many comments are pro cycling, some display a total arrogance to us. The usual arguments come up about us not paying for the roads, so we shouldn't be there, etc... :shock: Yes usual b@&**x. Same in my and I susp...

My e werk has arrived, now i'm confused why do you need a cache battery? That is not supplied! at the price it cost me i'm disappointed.

Thanks for the advice,
