kirkcudbrightThe Next Big Thing is not a new bike, but a new bike trip. Dan and I are going to be biking from John O' Groats, in the far northeast corner of Scotland, to Land's End, in the far southwest corner of England, approximately May 31 to June 14.
I'm actually flying out to Orkney, spending a couple days there, then taking the ferry to JO'G, and meeting Dan there. The clever Brits have mapped, signposted, and in some cases actually built a National Cycle Network. I've got cycle route maps covering both ends (Scotland and the West Country), Ordnance Survey maps of all parts of the country we're going through, and GPS mapping software, so when we get lost, we'll at least know where we're not.
I'll be riding the Bianchi, and Dan scored me a set of God's own panniers at closeout prices (slightly less than obscene). Now I just have to start training...
