Well we eventually made it to St Just which is about 6 miles from Lands End - estimated journey time of 6 hours was too ambitious and didn't take into account stopping after half a mile to check that we had actually packed bike shoes and helmets.
The M5 and A30 also conspired against us to make it a 7.5 hour plod to Penzance station when we met up with the Peak Tours van and got the hire car to the drop off with 15 minutes to spare.
Quick transfer to St Just was followed by several attempts at packing and repacking the rack bag, deciding what to take and leave and consulting the weather forecast - tomorrow we may get away with staying dry if we can pedal quickly to Fowey !
Met up with some of the additional LeJogers for a meal and general get together to discuss how much or how little training we had all done.
Ready to turn in now for a kip as we have an 8.15 start for the short ride and photo shoot at the Lands End signpost !
This Blog has been setup to tell the tale of our 2011 September LeJog - 1000 miles by bike for personal challenge and to raise some money for charity
