Don't be fooled by the title. 'Le Jog' is not a corruption of the phrase 'walk in the park'. Anything but that. LEJOG is synonymous with a 'once in your lifetime experience'. A heroic ride, mostly linked to a good cause. But what is it then? LEJOG is a challenge like no other. It is short for Land's End to John O'Groats<\/a>. Anyone who picks up the map of England gets it right away. You go from the southernmost point in Cornwall, Land's End, to the northernmost point in Scotland, John O'Groats. The damage at the end of the ride? About 1,600 kilometres, more than 14,000 (!) altimeters, probably a few refreshing English showers and stories to talk about for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create your own route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the starting point and finishing point are the same, there is no fixed route for doing this monster ride. There is also no timetable, nor fixed stages. LEJOG is really your challenge, your project. Sounds almost like you'll be doing a construction market<\/a> with it. The shortest 'end to end' route is 900 miles, or 1433 kilometres. You then drive the most direct route, with no deviations because of interesting highlights, or detours because of an overnight stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
