Ever since we agreed to do our LEJOG, the plan has always been to meet up for a long weekend's training, the idea being that it would allow us to get used to cycling together, staying in hostels, riding with panniers etc, and give us an indication of how our individual fitness levels were coming along.
Well, this weekend we'll be in the (hopefully) sunny Lake District doing just that. The plan is to meet on Friday lunchtime, ride Friday afternoon to our first hostel, ride all day Saturday to our second hostel, then another ride on Sunday before I head back up the road (Malc is staying another night and riding another 60miles to Preston on the Monday!).
As yet we've no concrete routes planned out, we're just going to see how we feel once we get down there. The main aim is to get used to riding together, but we should cover a good few miles while we're at it. Fingers crossed for decent weather!
I'm hoping to be able to update the blog at the end of each day, so I'll try and keep you posted on our progress.

A hostel a place for tourists to live with an option of either dormitory accommodation or private room, at economical price.
