Anyone else doing the coast to coast sportive on Saturday? Forecast is good with a north westerly which should help. Looking forward to hardknott and wrynose

Best of luck Si!

Kicking myself that I didn't sign up for it now. I await your Strava feed. Are you cycling back on the Sunday?

Next year....

Cheers Steve, you'd have had no problem with this. Would have cycled back but spending the day with the family in Whitby

I was there yesterday in my PH colours smile. I'm afraid I didn't see this post until I got back though.

A good event, well organised and tough enough to be a proper challenge! I can feel it in my knees today mind!

Cheers,
Tom

Hi, think we exchanged waves! Another great day blessed with fortunate weather. Hope the rider just over hardknott was ok, looked nasty. Fortunately the rescue guys were with them and had loaded them on to a stretcher. It must have been bad luck as there were plenty of mashalls on the decents advising people to take it easy. Happy with my time of just over 10 hours, would have been quicker if I'd sorted my fueling out and had a deraileur faff at the foot of a climb resulting in a bent hanger.

Were you in the RAF jersey? If so then yes we did at the top of one of the many hills as I was waiting for a friend of mine to catch up...
That's a good time indeed, well done that man! I'm looking forward to having a crack again next year...
I didn't see there had been an accident on the descent, I hope the chap's ok.
Cheers,
Tom

I'm trying to round up my riding buddies now - I fancy it too. Nice to have something like that hanging over you, stopping you going soft through the winter.
