    What a great dad you are. Doing things like this with your children will give them great memories of you. All dad's should take a leaf out your book

    I saw this late, Hats Off, I can’t think of a better way to bond with one’s kids, and deliver a memory that will last a life time. It’s the doing of Hard Things that builds character..

    I was looking for inspiration during this awful lockdown. I just found it! Your boys will remember this for the rest of their lives, because it was so challenging and that they overcame numerous hurdles to complete such a ride.

    Great watch, it highlights a definite need for Cycling UK to make this a permanent route. LETJOG is on my to do list however not as a roadie I'd worry about the angry drivers so would want the off road scenic bush route over the tarmac pot holes route. What an adventure for you all, I take my hat off to all 3 of you. Great to see.

As a reference this is a great little film well worth an hour and nine minutes of my life. As research for areas to plan for, invaluable.
