Joined: 13 Dec 2009 Posts: 3 Bike: | I'm planning to mountain bike the 3 peaks early next year starting at BN finishing Snowdon, trying to stay off road as much as possible. So far it looks like bringing together elements of the West Highland way, hadrians cycleway, pennine way etc etc but has anyone tried this before?? Any tips would be much appreciated!! |

It does look to be a genuine challenge mate and probably a good way beyond my own abilities. Have you heard of anybody posting a road route for this challenge? Paul |

Its been postponed until spring 2011 when I hope to do this for Help for Heroes. Fingers crossed. Cheers for all your replies! Dan |

So would have a total of 11 days for the off road route. Did you put together a route that you wouldnt mind sharing? What dates are you doing it maybe we'll see you on the way. good luck |

Think this is gonna be damn hard, esp seen as I only have 10 days, thats 45-50 miles off road a day. Will keep you informed. D |
