Just trying out this blog to see how it works

This is my first blog so bear with me for a while.

I've decided to ride my bike from Land's End to John o'Groats in May 2009. It's probably a daft idea (as some people have already told me) but I have this tremendous urge to do it.

I was inspired to do the trip a few years ago on a visit to Land's End. Over the past couple of years I've put a few days holiday aside to use this year on the trip. I've decided to try to raise some cash for charity and I've decided to help Macmillan Cancer Support. If you will be kind enough to sponsor me, you can donate at my JustGiving website (it really is very easy).

I'll be catching a train to Penzance (if I can get the bike booked on) on 9 May 2009 ready to set off on 10 May from LE. 12 days later I should arrive at the top tip of Scotland .

Wish me luck. I will need some.
