Event organizer Ed Grieg writes: "Unlike a normal Land’s End to John O’Groats ride, we want as many people to take their turn at the pedals as possible. For the difficult inter-city sections we are recruiting more hard-core cyclists and are adapting the bike to cope with some of the steep hills. To this end we are fitting harnesses to the front of the bike, we’re lowering the gearing and adding hybrid pedals so cycle shoes can be worn." Want to get involved?
