We’ve been lucky enough to have had another day of fabulous weather down here at Calshot. Everyone slept more soundly last night than on Monday (thank goodness!), exhausted after the day’s activities. This morning the students have been either (depending on groupings) out on a long Off Road Mountain Bike ride, Climbing, [...]
Well, we all arrived safely at Calshot yesterday morning. After introductions and meeting the instructors, we started with the most important event of the day – lunch! After that we were straight into the first activity of the day which, depending on which group you were in, was either a long [...]

Set off at 8:20am, made it to destination by 9:30pm. Over 10 hours cycling time to cover 144 miles! A tough day.
The LEJOG 2009 riders have completed 129 miles to reach their first stop (Crediton). The journey took a little over 12 hours, with more than 9 of those being in the saddle!
