Hi all,

I finished my LEJOG ride last friday and have just updated my blog:

While planning my trip, I found lots of good advice on this site so please feel free to ask me anything!

congratulations - especially on a single speed!

look forward to reading your blog in more detail as well.

Congratulations, and I agree with all your points in your final thoughts - very well put. Obviously with the exception of doing it on a single speed

Fantastic blog Mark and that's seriously impressive stats on a SS.

Have been wanting to do LEJOG for a while and this has reminded me why (despite your observations about my home town! Which lots of people make when they do LEJOG ).

What's your justgiving address...?

Well done ...

Thanks for all the kind words! Pastasauce, just go for it. SSpeeds are always marketed as for short, flat commutes but I don't see why they can't be used for touring. Apart from 2 punctures, I had no mechanical issues (apart from creaking BB!) so in that sense they are better.

Sorry about what I said too! I have been into the city before and it is actually a lovely city!

Single speed?! Chapeau!

Your final thoughts are pretty similar to those I had - great blog, thank you for putting the effort into writing it and getting it up there.
