This summer has seen lot's of customers riding the JOGLE this year and lots of people stopping by whilst passing through.
Challenge Cornwall was a very interesting adventure as it comprised of a Tandem crew and several novice cyclists who rose to the occaision in fine form. Full details here. http://challengecornwall.org/
We also helped some guys keep on their way during a 2000 mile trip around the UK www.cyclelogicformongolia.com
Another remarkable JOGLE trip went under the aptly named title 'Four Cycling Grannies' here is a short account of their story by one of their support crew Peter Wheeler.
"Pat Buckingham (63) from Penzance, Lil Horrocks (64) from Gulval,Norma Cullen (59) from St Ives, and Kathy Wheeler (61) from PerranwellStation, four ladies in the ‘Grandmother’ period of their lives havecompleted a cycle epic from John’O’Groats to Lands End in 20 days,covering 1015 miles at an average speed of 9.95 miles per hour.These gallant ladies completed this journey in the worst possibleweather conditions with only two rain free days. Across Rannock Moorthey endured the wind in their faces and driving rain not to mentionthe constant stream of heavy lorries attempting to blow them off thehighway.Despite all this they managed to smile and enjoy the experience all theway the route taking them through Fort William; Peebles; Castleside;York; Doncaster; Gunthorpe; Stratford-upon-Avon; Cheltenham;Wellington; Oakhampton; Bodmin and finally to a champagne welcome atLands End.Although not intending to raise money at the outset, the appeal of fourplucky grandmothers was too much for many wonderful people that theymet on route and in the end they raised £1000 for Cancer Research andThe Heart Foundation.They were supported in their effort by Cyclelogic who provided bikes,information and expertise."
Plenty of inspiration here for a trip next year.
