Mike Havill, Epic Cycling Challenge - LEJOG - Lands End England to John O'Groats Scotland. Raising Funds for Cure Parkinson's NZ

Waikato

Big challenge ahead!

Starting 14 August 2025, Nicola K and I will be riding from Land’s End to John O’Groats — that’s about 2,000km across England, Wales, and Scotland! We’ll be bikepacking the whole way, carrying our own gear and following scenic cycle trails, tracks, and quiet country roads. Hoping to finish in 3 to 4 weeks.

It’s going to be a huge personal challenge — especially for me at 64yo. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2012, and this ride is part of my mission to raise awareness and fund research to Cure Parkinson's.

We’d love your support as we take on this journey together!

— Mike & Nicola
