Dave's Mountain Bike Mania

I have decided to start training to do the 135 mile c2c route, The official start point is with your rear wheel in the Irish sea at Whitehaven or Workington and finishing with your front wheel in the North Sea at either Roker (Sunderland) or Newcastle.
I have decided to start from Whitehaven and finish at Roker, I intend to do the c2c trip sometime in 2005, and hopefully to do it in 2 days.
My Training has started with cycling locally at weekday nights after I finish work. On Sundays it's a day out on the trails with the wife and kids.
In late August this year (2003) I wanted to have a one way ride to Skegness, Lincolnshire which is around 88 miles give or take a few, for a warm up run, but unfortunately I'll have to wait until 2004 to do the Skeggy run. I last rode to Skegness 18years ago (way back in 1985, blimey, that's gone quick!) When I did it, I had just turned 15 years old about 6 weeks before hand, I had a 12 speed racer, Reynolds 501 chromoly tubing and alloy rims. I'll do another Skegness page nearer to doing it. That's all for now Folks!!!
