cycle-endtoend.org.uk - the end of an era . . . . and a new beginning

Twenty-one years on from my first E2E (2005), and seventeen years since the website was created (2009), have seen a lot of changes - not least of all the expansion of various media, both social and otherwise which perhaps divert interest from a website?

It's been a bit of a labour of love and I hope it's been useful to riders undertaking the UK's greatest cycle ride (and other rides too)

The content here will remain in place for the foreseeable future but any additions are unlikely - inevitably some external information sources will disappear or fail over time.

The Rides

The expression "end to end" in the UK invariably registers with people as travelling from Land's End to John O'Groats - from the far south-west to the far north-east of the mainland British Isles.

The purist will tell you (normally spluttering through his beard and spilling real ale on his sandals) that the REAL end-to-end is actually from Lizard Point to Dunnett Head ... whatever, the rides listed and the content of the website relate to the "principle of an end-to-end" 

As well as the LEJOG & JOGLE in the UK rides the site carried information about other end-to-end cycle journeys be that from Malin to Mizen in Ireland, wherever they start from in Northern Norway and Gibraltar, Alaska to Tierra del Fuego - or the Calais to Montpellier that the webmaster rode in 2008 and France also has the "Manche to Med"

Resources and inspiration for a great adventure!

Cycle : End-to-End - (probably) the most extensive resource for Land's End to John O'Groats - the ultimate ride across Britain - cycling trips. 

The intention is to provide a comprehensive resource for cyclists to find inspiration, routes, ideas, maps, books, tips & tricks etc. to help them achieve and enjoy their "BIG RIDE" - primary focus is on the UK E2E, but "end-to-end" rides in other countries will also be included.
