http://teamaliceontour.blogspot.com/2012/05/lejog-part-1-of-many.html

Team Alice on Tour. Thursday, 3 May 2012. Lejog Part 1, of many! Ashley, Simon, Gary, Daz, Jonny, Shelagh, Steph and Sonja. Accommodation for the night before we set off was at the superb Land's End Hostel. Run by David and Susie. After a meal at a nearby pub we prepared our bikes and cycling kit ready for the day ahead. Friday April 20th dawned and we made the half mile hop from our hostel to the Land's End sign post. After team and individual photos we set off on our 10 day ride to John O'Groats. To gi...

Team Alice on Tour: Part 2!

http://teamaliceontour.blogspot.com/2012/05/part-2.html

Team Alice on Tour. Tuesday, 15 May 2012. Spending a night at home gave us the chance to catch up with family, fix any mechanical bike problems and restock our daily food supplies etc. Day six saw us all freshened up and ready for part 2 of our Lejog. There seemed a renewed energy boosting the team, perhaps knowing we were half way there and still had so much more to give. Day six also brought with it a change to our support crew with Vicky swapping her duties with Alastair for days 6 to 10. Vicky an...

Team Alice on Tour: Happy Days:)

http://teamaliceontour.blogspot.com/2012/05/happy-days.html

Team Alice on Tour. Tuesday, 8 May 2012. Day four saw us winding up through Shropshire and Cheshire along some traffic free country lanes with very little climbing to do after we decided as a group to remove the major climb of the day near Church Stretton and use the more direct route instead. This turned out to be a blessing to all when we rode past the bottom of the deleted climb and saw how steep things would have been. Leaving Warrington early in the rush hour was a bit hairy with huge numbers of car...

Team Alice on Tour: Kit list

http://teamaliceontour.blogspot.com/2012/05/kit-list.html

Team Alice on Tour. Friday, 18 May 2012. Several people via email, Twitter and Facebook have asked about the bikes and items that we took along on our Lejog. For security of our steeds we never said during the trip just incase we were tracked down as their value added up to many thousands of ££. For those who asked here is all the detail. Bikes from Colnago, Cube, Felt, Giant, Look, Specialized and 2 Trek's. Plus a spare from Giant. Groupsets all came from Shimano or SRAM. Posted by Team Alice on Tour.

Team Alice on Tour: June 2012

http://teamaliceontour.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Team Alice on Tour. Saturday, 9 June 2012. John O'Groats here we come! Day 9 saw a very cold start in Roy Bridge with a hard frost on the ground and both of our support vehicles frozen up early in the morning. Without a cloud in the sky the temperature soon warmed up once the sun had risen so slippery roads where not a worry for us cycling. We stopped briefly, after a couple of miles, to take in the stunning views of Ben Nevis at the Commando memorial before getting on with the day properly. So our final...

Team Alice on Tour: Scottish Highlands

http://teamaliceontour.blogspot.com/2012/05/scottish-highlands.html

Team Alice on Tour. Friday, 18 May 2012. The view above was the one that greeted us at the breakfast table and what a view it was! Food and accommodation at The Whistlefield Inn. Was excellent value for money and our host, landlord Jackie, certainly pulled out all the stops - especially at breakfast. Todays route took us from Loch Eck towards Oban with a coffee stop at Inveraray and Loch Etive. Before reaching Oban we took a turn to the north, now bound for Fort William. Even when the rain had subsided, ...

Team Alice on Tour: April 2012

http://teamaliceontour.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Team Alice on Tour. Friday, 13 April 2012. Along the way you will have seen many thank you posts on this blog, all of the companies mentioned have been very generous with their goods or services and for this we are all very grateful. Their generosity has meant the costs involved in setting up and running the ride have been kept to a minimum for both the individual riders and the charity. We shall catch you next week when we start our monumental event. Posted by Team Alice on Tour. Monday, 9 April 2012.

Team Alice on Tour: February 2012

http://teamaliceontour.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Team Alice on Tour. Sunday, 26 February 2012. About 15 years ago my job at the time required that I attend a first aid course, all went smoothly and I passed at the end of the eight weeks. When leaving the course on the final day the instructor told us to. On the way home as it is not uncommon for people leaving first aid courses to witness some sort of incident in the coming days. A bit of banter or scaremongering I thought but the following day. What does all this rambling have to do with our Lejog?
