LEJOG on a Raleigh Chopper

[Colin63]

Ah... I have happy memories of both places.

Really looking forward to hearing the word from Mick that he's finished

[MPurslow]

Yeah me 2 This is assuming he hasn't got distracted by something on route He did say he may get talking. I think hes deservant of a large number of beers

[ferrit worrier]

I think we should all raise a glass or 3 to Mick . I agree with Graham he's certainly taken E2E to a new level!

Just did the last thirty something miles down to Lands End with Mick, we met at Smokey Joe's for a cuppa and bacon roll at about 10am and got to Lands End aprox 2.30pm. where we were met by Mick's wife. 892 was Mick's final mileage I believe and no problems with the Chopper, just lots of interest in it from middle aged men both at Smokey's and at the end.

Brilliant! We'll raise a glass to him tonight.

Incredible achievement Mick. Someones going to have to do it on a 'Chipper' with stabilisers to top this one!

[Swallow]

Well done Mick, I think you're barking but a fantastic achievement. I shall also raise a glass or two

Congratulations Mick,

What an Amazing Achievement.

You should give yourself one hell of a pat on the back, and get yourself down the pub, truly inspirational

Well done Mick, incredible achievement. Look forward to your report and photos, no doubt you are celebrating and relaxing now.



Someone will have to edit the Wikipedia entry now:

"The original Chopper is fondly remembered............the Chopper was not suitable for long distances"

And I just corrected it - He's done JOGLE, not LEJOG.
