Four month countdown...

On the day where many in the world of sport were celebrating the fact that the Olympic Games begin in 100 days, we had a small celebration of our own - four months from now we will be in John O' Groats, ready to start our challenge on 19th August. We're also aware that there has been little recent activity - so for those of you who were starting to feel alarmed, here is an update on our progress...

Our latest practice route, approximately
15 miles

Sadly, Tom cannot commit to the cycle and therefore we will be known from now as 'The Six Sennockians'. Given that Tom was an initial proponent of the trip, it's a great shame that he won't be coming, however he still aims to complete the cycle at some point.

Angus has confirmed that he and his dad will be taking bikes and luggage up to Scotland, which has greatly solved our transport issues. Joffie will now be taking the train, whilst myself and Joe already have flights confirmed, and Alex and Ed will have theirs booked in the near future.

Our training has also been ramped up recently, with the addition of new routes, and the arrival of our cycling jerseys! We will be wearing the jerseys to the right, with surnames reading across the back and hopefully some sponsors across the front - though we have acquired none of these yet, so if any readers have any suggestions, please feel free to email us at our new address, oaks72012@hotmail.com
