CYCLING PHENOMENON

I’ve been speaking to friends and family recently and the consensus has been clear – the Olympics has led to a huge increase of people getting on their bikes!

It’s great to see the sporting prowess of the Olympics cyclists having such a positive effect on people and also boosting the fitness levels of the country.

The huge spike in interest in cycling does make me wonder how packed the Coast 2 Coast trail will be when we take on the challenge again.

There’s still no confirmed date for us to continue where we left off last time, but I suspect it’ll be March or April in 2013.

I’m not giving up hope of doing it before then, but the recent dip in temperature is indicating to me that it might be a little difficult, something I think we had enough of last time out!

The latest weather forecast reminds me of the weekend in June that Neil, Pads and I attempted the Coast 2 Coast, while trying to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Heavy rain, strong winds and weather warnings in place; the only difference is that you expect it in September, not June.

Due to holidays, weddings and birthdays I haven’t had much chance to get out on my bike, but I’m hoping that will change this weekend.

With almost ten days holiday still due I’ll make use of a couple of those days to take some long, leisurely trips around the Cheshire countryside.

I’ll endeavour to take some images and include them in future blog posts, fingers crossed I pick days with decent weather!
