Help!!!!
I'm planning a sponsored ride lands end to john o groats on a road bike with a couple of friends, but... there is disagreement over which way to go, based on 1-where is the best place to have an end of journey party and 2-the wind direction in summer.. I don't really care myself but would like to stop a really boring argument!
Does anybody know which way the wind is gonna be blowing in july august? When I say it like that it sounds really stupid.. but do ya?
Thanks
Prevailing wind is in the direction towards the north-east. Thats why most people do it from Lands end to John O'Groats. Of course that is only the case 90% of the time so you could end up riding into the wind all the way even if you go that way.
On the party side of things both places are dumps in the middle of no-where to be honest. Lands end maybe less so. You'll probably feel completely knackered by the time you finished so have the party the day after. If you finish in John O'Groats then you can get to Edinburgh or Glasgow by the next night.
Doing it myself this summer with some people from my school, starting on the 26th July for two weeks (less if we go fast).
