More LEJOG

We went out for a cycle yesterday afternoon, and who should we meet, but a friend of ours, standing at a corner with a bunch of bananas and a cow bell! Strange you might think?! He was actually waiting for a couple of mutual friends who were cycling from Land's End to John O' Groats and were due to pass by here any minute - two out of 700+ cyclists. We were travelling the opposite way, so kept an eye out for them. I spotted Neil whizzing downhill as I slogged uphill, but his girlfriend must have been a good way behind him as we didn't see her. It's obviously a popular time of year for doing this cycle route.
What an incredible coincidence to meet up like that!

Looks as though you managed to find the needle in the haystack, well spotted.

A great welcome for the cyclists….funny to see your friend all ready with his welcome bell & bananas. Simple & sensible when you know what they are for but weird to see him standing there with those if you have no idea why!

It must feel good while taking on a long trek like that to see a friendly face with nourishment. Nice shot!

@tunia @gilbertwood Cowbell just for welcoming the riders as they come through. A bit of motivation for them.

Oh yes, it's a great time for bike trips. Unfortunately, yesterday I had a flat tire, it was the third time in a month. I think I have something with the rim. I have to have the bike serviced. Lovely shot and story.

Great photo. There are so many different routes for Lejog ....certainly no straight lines from one end to the other.
