Hi VEch, apologies, I have just seen your post, I didn't see it when quoting the above replies. PM sent! GPS wise we are yet to get one.
Cheers

On a point to point route like LEJoG wind is a big factor too. My speed varied between 13.7mph on my slowest day riding into a headwind (and lots of rain) up to 16.4mph on the last day with a tailwind (and sunshine - brilliant!).litwardle wrote:
I guess it will depend on the topography of the route and of course our fitness levels. We will of course do a few long runs in training, and the plan is to ride sections of the route in advance so we will get an idea of speed then.cheaterkiller wrote:When doing LEJOG, what speed will you typically maintain so that you are able to go all day? I typically ride at about 20mph on the flat but I have never cycled much over 50 miles. I certainly couldnt ride 100 miles a day for 10 days consecutively.

I hate riding into the wind, it's so soul destroying and such a sap on energy! Apart from dangerous driving it's the only other impending worry for the ride....0

It just occoured to me that I havn't updated this thread! So, We did it! In fact exactly a year ago today we were on the Windemere to Dumfries stretch! Was a great two weeks - If youre thinking of doing LEJOG I can highly recommend it!
Here is our LEJOG movie on You Tube! https://youtu.be/AZYabvrdiG4 Check it out!
Might give you an idea of what youre letting yourself in for! One things for sure, we made lots of memories that will stay with us for ever.
