I met Richard Cooper in May this year, I was taking part in the TdE (Tour d'Ecosse) which he had organized, it was my first time meeting this group and I must say I was a littel worried about what to expect.
Not only was it a great 5 days of hard slog (I couldnt do the climbing or too much of the mountain biking) I also had a great time.
During this trip Richard told me of his plans about the LeJog with his sons, this sounded great and here I am about to leave in 3 days from Seattle (yes, it does rain a lot). Im currently sitting in a hotel room in Tokyo, on a business trip - I have been on the exercise bike two days in a row...so I will be ready for next Monday.
Initially the LeJog adventure was one to tick off the "bucket list", however I discovered that we were doing it for a great cause. The one thing I realize as I get older is that you have to push yourself and you also need to be more aware of what we are doing to our planet and what some people do to stop the damage.
So here's to riding 900 miles in 7 days and raising money for a great cause.
