Is this route possible using a road bike or is there an alternative route more suitable for a road bike?

Beautiful scenery, really enjoyed it. Done it 3 days with my son aged 10 and daughter aged 8. And completed it in 2 days with my hubby.

I am plannign on completing the C2C ride next month. I have a road bike, do you think the terrain of the route will be suitable for my bike?

posted by:MattRating : difficult :
Just to say to those thinking of completing this on a road bike, I did so last year and it more than coped with the terrain and was definitaly suitable.

Fantastic weekend from whitehaven to sunderland.
Shout out to Arragons cycle shop in Penrith, and North Pennine cycles in Nenthead, absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly and very very helpful, and a great price too.
Shops like that make the bike ride much easier

regards

steve

What a fantastic experience. 1st day Whitehaven to Penrith. Steady ride with a few moderate hills and beautiful countryside.
2nd day Penrith to Rookhope this takes in the harder terrain up and over Hartside and Carrigill phew! with the most amazing veiws.
day 3 the hard climb out of Rookhope gets you ready for the Waskerly way down to Sunderland what a relief. wouldn`t have missed this for anything Brilliant!
