Welcome

Welcome to the LOW2LE blog page! Here is a quick FAQ:

Who are you?
We are Chuck Belanger (nearly 40) and Steve Welsh (past 50).

What are you hoping to achieve?
We want to cycle from Lowestoft to Land's End. Hopefully in about a week.

Why Lowestoft and not John O'Groats?
Because we are old and in not such great shape! We wanted to do something geographically grand, not too difficult, and fun. Lowestoft is the easternmost mainland place in England and Land's End is the westernmost, hence LOW2LE.

Just for fun?
Yep! Oh, and we are hoping to raise some money for charity. More on that later.

Are you taking everything with you?
Nope, too much effort. We are lucky enough to have a support team to help us along (and find all the good pubs). Chuck's wife Maile and Steve's son John will be our guardian angels.

How far is the ride?
As the crow flies, about 360 miles. On our bikes it will be more like 450, with detours.

Hi,

Good luck with your ride (if you haven't already set off!!). I'm just starting to organise a trip (in the oposite direction to yourselves) next May. I was wondering what your route is, I'm finding it a bit messy between Bristol and Cambridge! Are you using a recognised route?

Cheers,

Colin.
