The Proof

Just to prove to you all that I'm not just hiding in a luxury apartment somewhere exotic for the year!

Leg 1: Aberdeen (Scotland) to Dover (England) - 13/02/11 to 09/03/11

The Stats:
Distance:                                          1,347.71km (837.43miles)
Total Ascent:                                    11,884m (38,989 feet)
Total Time Actually Cycling:               85 hours 9 minutes
Longest Day (distance):                     121.40km (parents house to Alice Holt Forest)
Longest Day (time actually cycling):     7 hours 25 minutes (Northumberland National Park to Bishop Auckland on that snowy day)
Number of Punctures:                        1

Due to the slight variance in the statistics for the two bike computers I am using, an average of the distance and ascent has been taken.
