Two weeks today ... that's not very long, is it?

I've bought my train ticket so there's no going back now, not at that price. If conditions suddenly make a ride impossible, there'd better be a walk instead

Well you had better hope it is not as windy as it is today.

It was really gloomy here yesterday and we had chilly 15 mph winds on the tops.

I am still convincing myself that the weather will turn nice again in time for the ride ...







... but if by some freak chance the weather lets us down, there is the option to bypass Glasson Dock and get straight onto the return leg at Five Lane Ends and call in at The Barn in Scorton instead. That would cut about 10 miles from the route.

It will be ok, it has been lovely here for a couple of weeks just a bit windy yesterday and today.

No! Just advise everyone to take a rainshell. Simples!

We have a soggy history up the Trough!

I am looking forward to many reports of this epic ride. CC's most estimate writers and photographers are taking part!

Parking? Are we not all cycling to the start?

Who's who in the soggy picture.

I'm the good looking one, second from the left. I think it's @Pennine-Paul on the far left and @colly on the far right.
