My Profile
I am now in training for the Coast to Coast ( Blackpool to Scarbrough )
I want to raise as much cash as possible for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
YAA are pleased for me to ride for them and have sent me all the paper work to do so,
I'll be using the A59 as the main route, the joining the A64 to scarbrough.
if any one has any advice on this ride / route please feel free to let me know,
I am riding around 30-40 miles a day when I go on a ride, at least twice a week at the moment, this is very easy fo me ( I am am on a mounting bike at this time, but plan to buy a road racer very soon )

many thanks in advance :-)

My advice is try for 60 miles a day over 3 days, use your mountain bike with painniers.

For someone used to a mountain bike, a racer would hurt for long distances,

Just my input,

HI,thanks for your input,
I am going to be training on the bike soon, once the threat of snow ad bad weather has gone,
I did manage 100 miles in just two days, laast year cycling for about 4.5 - 5 hours.
this was done locally,
its going to be a challenge but I am sure I ll be fine :-)
once again many thanks
Neil
