Depending on how many days you were thinking of taking to do it, day 2 (if you do it over 3 days) will be rough as you have to climb Hartside which is a major challenge. Fair play to you if you decide to go for it, but its a brilliant route providing the weather is good! Cheers Jim |

Thing is I've been planning to do the c2c with my son for a while now but.....about 2 months ago I bought myself a Specialised Langster single speeder on a whim and now I just cant stay of it! I wish I'd bought one years ago. I know its opening a can of worms here that's probably already been discussed on this forum but I've got to say I really do feel connected to the bike in a way I never have done on a geared bike. |
