Bottom Gear. Are you still planning the JOGLE for this summer? If so, I might bump into you. I'm hoping to start from the top arounmd the last week in May. I was also thinking about looping through Kintyre and Arran. How's the preparation going? Alan

Hi Al. The prep is going quite well, and after a house move, I'm now back on track with my usual weekly mileage. I had originally intended on mostly camping, but its ended up split 50-50 between B&B/Hostel and under canvas, but I'm not complaining. :D I'm kicking off early June and can't wait. How's your planning going? Rich.

Hi Rich.

Time is rushing on and I my training is not what it should be. I get distracted by ordering gear! I haven't done touring since the first time I did JOGLE, and that was over 50 years ago! My start day is May 23, pedalling up from Wick that morning. Then I'll be heading off for Kintyre and over to Arran, to meet my brothers holidaying there.

Hi I did a JOGLE last November, camping most of the time and going off-road and backroads wherever possible. From JOGs I took minor roads and forestry tracks to Forsinard, the Great Glen Way and a wonderful cycle path from Ballachulish to near Oban before getting the ferry to Arran. There's heaps of cycle tracks and off-road quite doable on a road tourer. My blog's at http://hilloverthehill.blogspot.co.uk if you want to check it out. Have a great ride!

Just read your blog, so thanks for sharing your own journey (surely 12 punctures is some kind of record?!)
