Baz & Mike Bike LEJOG
Barry & Mike's Land's End to John O'Groats (LEJOG) cycle 2011
Welcome to our website which will hopefully tell the tale of our attempt to cycle the length of mainland UK from Land's End to John O'Groats (1000 miles give or take a few wrong turns) in under 2 weeks!
Who?
Barry and Mike, two thirty-something brother-in-law doctors (one scientist-type and one real one!) from Glasgow and deepest (Kingdom of) Fife.
When?
Our plan is to ride LEJOG at the end of June and take advantage of the invariably stunning British summer weather!
Fundraising
We are raising money for a local voluntary group that runs a class for disabled people in Glasgow. Please see the Fundraising page for more details and ways to donate.
