A moment of madness !

Well it really was. I watched 'Children in Need' and saw Matt cycle a rickshaw down the country and had, 'a moment of madness' a few months later.
"I'm going to cycle from John O'Groats to Lands end for Children in Need" I announced to friends and family. While this is indeed a noble statement there are somethings that were pointed out to me ( amongst the laughter and amazement ) that might get in the way of my ultimate goal.
First off I'm no spring chicken at 46 years old. At 5'11" and 16 stone 2 lb I'm a little over weight. Then there's the fact that at that point I didn't cycle ! well I hadn't really been on a bike for 15- 20 years and even then I was never a regular cyclist. Then there's the other issues, damaged shoulder from 2006 car accident ( never really been sorted gives constant pain) Oh there's the prolapsed disc from last year, which is ongoing, knees aren't so good, ankle op a few years back from a motorbike accident occasionally acts up. Apart from that I should be fine.........
