On the 7th<\/sup> June 2019 John McGonagle completed a month long Land\u2019s End to John O\u2019Groats cycle ride.\u00a0 We spent a wonderful ten days touring through Cornwall and Devon using mainly \u2018B\u2019 roads.\u00a0 Very lumpy.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 During this section I suffered recurring bouts of dizziness and balance problems necessitating a visit to an ear specialist and two hospitals in Cornwall and taking a course of antibiotics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

John meanwhile rode on and I ended up playing catch-up by taxi.\u00a0 This put paid to my ride being an E to E attempt. Because of the effects of the antibiotics I abandoned the ride at Newport, South Wales. John carried on up through Wales to home in Blackburn, where he was just in time to plant his spuds and sort out a rebellious swarm of bees in one of his allotment hives! On the whole the weather during the ride up to then had been good, particularly in the south west.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n

From here going north it took on a different complexion.\u00a0 John battled on, day after day in unrelenting driving, cold rain.\u00a0 He never gave up.\u00a0 He had a day of 88 miles and one of over 90 miles arriving at the booked B & B after sunset.\u00a0 At Fort William on a wet day he reckoned he had the ride \u2018in the bag\u2019! In a rain storm he made John O\u2019 Groats feeling \u201cBright Eyed and Bushy Tailed\u201d. I never doubted he would do it. Mick Mcgovern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
